The Community-based Opioid Recovery Effort (CORE) Grants offer an opportunity to combat the opioid crisis at a grassroots level. These grants aim to provide critical funding to community-based programs to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by addiction across the state of Texas.
The opioid crisis affects every corner of our community — families, neighbors, schools and workplaces. It is a silent epidemic that devastates lives and undermines the strength of our neighborhoods. CORE Grants will empower communities with tools to:
Save Lives: Expand access to life-saving treatments and evidence-based interventions.
Build Hope: Offer individuals and families the support they need to rebuild their futures.
Unite Communities: Foster collaboration across healthcare providers, law enforcement, local leaders and community organizations.
How CORE Grants Enable Awardees
CORE Grants are more than just funding — they are an investment in solutions that address the needs faced by your local community. For example, these grants could support community programs to:
Launch mobile treatment units to bring care directly to underserved areas.
Provide peer support programs that connect individuals with people who understand their journey.
Expand access to evidence-based treatments, including counseling and medication-assisted recovery.
Equip first responders and community centers with life-saving tools like Naloxone.
Support innovative prevention strategies to stop addiction before it starts.
