Summary
Hubbard County’s opioid-settlement committee recommended and the board approved opening a first-round grant application for $125,000 (individual requests informally capped at $50,000) to support programs addressing opioid use disorder; applications open through Sept. 18 for projects to be spent in 2027.
The Hubbard County Board approved a first-round application process for opioid-settlement funds, making $125,000 available for community projects addressing opioid use disorder.
Staff said the county’s 18-year settlement totals just over $1.8 million and yields about $101,000 per year; the committee recommended a $125,000 first-round allocation and noted a suggested single-application limit of $50,000 (not an absolute cap). The application period was opened immediately and will remain open through Sept. 18; staff said awards are intended to fund projects to be spent in calendar year 2027 and that the process will be periodic over the settlement term.
Commissioners voted to open the grant round and direct staff to publicize the application details; a county staff member will present program details on local radio to encourage applicants.
