The RCCA is now accepting applications for Supplies, Access, Facilitation, and Education (SAFE) programs in Illinois. The deadline to apply for SAFE funding is February 17, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. CST.
The goal of SAFE programs is to reduce the adverse health, social, and economic consequences of substance use for persons in active use of substances within their community. Funding recipients will accomplish this goal by enhancing and expanding harm reduction services to ensure equitable access across diverse populations in areas hardest hit by the overdose crisis. Applicants must have at least two years of experience in offering services described as core practice areas for Community-based Harm Reduction Programs (CHRPs) in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Harm Reduction Framework.
A total of $12,750,000 is available to be awarded for SAFE over a period of 3 years. A minimum of 14 organizations, at least one in each of seven (7) health regions, will be awarded SAFE funding.
