MDHHS issues GFO for recovery support services

LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has issued a competitive Grant Funding Opportunity (GFO) to expand recovery support center services or recovery community center services for individuals seeking long-term recovery from substance use disorders.  

Eligible applicants must meet the definition of a Recovery Community Organization or a Recovery Community Center as defined in the GFO. 

Funding for this GFO was appropriated in the FY2026 budget to assist individuals recovering from substance use disorders, and includes both general fund dollars and opioid settlement funding. Michigan is slated to receive more than $1.8 billion from national opioid settlements by 2040, with half being distributed to the State of Michigan Opioid Healing and Recovery Fund and the other half being distributed directly to county, city and township governments.  

A total of $3.9 million is available with a maximum award of $150,000. MDHHS anticipates issuing up to 26 awards. 

Grant applications for the Recovery Support Services Competitive GFO must be submitted electronically through the EGrAMS program by 3 p.m., Friday, Jan 30. The program period begins March 1, 2026, and ends Sept. 30, 2026.

The complete GFO can be accessed under the ‘Current Grants’ section under the “Specialty Behavioral Health Services” link and selecting the “RSSC-2026” grant program.
