State and Local Governments, Non-Profits Invited to Apply for $163M in Aid
Seattle – U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran of the Western District of Washington announced today that more than $163 million in Department of Justice grants is available to help communities address America’s addiction crisis.
“Sadly, even with our community focused on health amidst the COVID-19 crisis, those who struggle with addiction have no break from their disease,” said U.S. Attorney Brian Moran. “I hope state and local governments and non-profits will explore these federal funding opportunities and apply for the grants that can enhance their work with those suffering from addiction.”
“Our nation is facing the difficult challenge of curbing substance addiction, which threatens public safety and is among the Administration’s top domestic priorities,” said Katharine T. Sullivan, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs. “The federal government is front and center in the fight to meet this challenge. OJP is making historic amounts of grant funding available to ensure that our communities have access to innovative and diverse solutions.”
The funding is available through OJP, the federal government’s leading source of public safety funding and crime victim assistance in state, local and tribal jurisdictions. OJP’s programs support a wide array of activities and services, including programs designed to prevent overdose deaths and break the cycle of addiction and crime.
