Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced the Opioid Abatement Fund Council’s (OAFC) 2025 Grant Issuance Plan could award up to $100 million in grants for approved proposals that respond to the statewide opioid crisis. The available funding for these community-based grants will be divided among the 20 Regional Health Care Partnership regions.
Grants may be awarded for proposals that align with council-approved categories including treatment and coordination of care; prevention and public safety; recovery support services; and workforce development and training. This flexibility will allow Texas communities to decide what they most need to address the opioid crisis in their areas.
Specific grant opportunities in 2025 will include:
- Up to $25 million across all regions for short-term, Community-based Opioid Recovery Effort (CORE) grants
- Up to $50 million across all regions for long-term CORE grants
- Up to $25 million for a council-selected targeted grant strategy
