INTRODUCTION

In accordance with City of Albuquerque Council Bill No. R-25-128, Enactment No. R- 2025-015, the City of Albuquerque has created a competitive grant process to fund shovel-ready capital projects and services for qualified, not-for-profit organizations prioritizing facility expansion and infrastructure improvements that enhance the capacity and sustainability of opioid-related treatment, harm reduction, and recovery services addressing the opioid crisis.

Requested funds must be non-recurring, with a limit of 15% for associated operating expenses, including any proposed services.

Projects are capped at $7.5 million in funding and must be completed within five (5) years of contract execution. Any unused funds will revert to the City after this time period.

Projects will be scored and funded in order of rank until the available funds are exhausted. Bonus points may be awarded to projects proposed by providers with established relationships with the City or County, to help expedite the funding process and ensure swift distribution of funds to the community.

40% of the funds ($4,000,000) will be allocated to prevention and community revitalization programs, and 60% ($6,000,000) will be allocated to Intervention and Treatment programs.

The use of these funds is limited to programs that support treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and any co-occurring Substance Use Disorder or Mental Health (SUD/MH) conditions through evidence-based or evidence-informed programs or strategies. That may include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Treat Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

• Support People in Treatment and Recovery

• Connect people who need help to the help they need

• Prevent misuses of Opioids

• Prevent Overdose Deaths and Other Harms

With a recommended focus on services that support:

(1) Connecting Disconnected Youth

(2) Comprehensive Education

(3) Peer Support Expansion

(4) Recovery Housing

(5) Community-Based Treatment Access and Quality

(6) Leveraging the Sobering Center

(7) Naloxone Access Expansion

(8) Expand Mobile Crisis Response Services

The following expenditure planning approaches will be followed in awarding funds:

1. Equity-Driven Allocation: Funding will be prioritized for historically excluded communities and those most affected by the opioid crisis.

2. Data-Informed Decision-Making.

3. Sustainability: Initiatives should promote long-term community resilience and systemic change that includes a plan to sustain the program outside of Opioid Settlement Fund dollars.

Funding for this grant is subject to City Council approval and availability of Opioid Settlement Funds.
