IDHS/DBHR Initiatives in Response to the Overdose Crisis

Since September 2016, the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (IDHS/DBHR) has been awarded over $110 million across four federal grants to address the opioid crisis from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

New projects will be posted for competitive bid through the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) process included in Illinois' implementation of the Government Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) requirements. Further information about these projects will become available as new funding opportunities are released on DBHR's FY24 Grants Page.
