Grants up to $75,000 available to help launch peer-led recovery support in high-need communities
LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is requesting letters of interest from organizations interested in grant funding to develop Recovery Community Centers (RCCs) and Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs).
The grants, funded through the State of Michigan Opioid Healing and Recovery Fund, are intended to help organizations cover start-up and early operational costs, including peer and administrative staffing, staffing training, facility lease and utilities, licensing and other necessary fees related to small business set up.
“Recovery is not one-size-fits-all, and communities need strong, locally driven supports that meet people where they are,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive. “By supporting the development of recovery community centers and organizations across the state, we can expand access to peer-led support that helps individuals and families build stability, connection and long-term recovery.”
RCCs and RCOs help strengthen local recovery systems by offering peer-based advocacy and connections to services. RCCs typically provide a physical, welcoming space for recovery-focused activities. RCOs are independent, nonprofit entities led and governed by local recovery community representatives and may provide peer-based recovery support, community education and outreach and recovery-focused advocacy.
Special consideration will be given to applicants that can implement services within three months of award notice and can demonstrate the ability to serve high-need areas and populations. Maximum grant funding available per applicant is $75,000. The grant period is Wednesday, April 1, 2026, through Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026.
Key dates:
How to submit:
Completed letters of interest and questions must be submitted by email to mdhhs-bhdda@michigan.gov by the applicable deadlines. MDHHS is not responsible for technical errors that prevent timely delivery and applicants are encouraged to submit in advance of deadlines.
Submission of a letter of interest does not constitute an application for grant funding nor does it obligate any entity to submit a grant application. MDHHS is not obligated to award funding to entities that submit a letter of interest.
For more information and instructions, visit the Opioid Settlement Spending website to review the letter of interest documentation.
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 across the state.
