The Kane County Health Department (KCHD) is seeking proposals to support projects that will reduce fatal overdoses. Approximately $200,000 will be made available to fund projects with an expected average award of $25,000-$45,000. This request seeks organizations that will work with the health department to identify and address disparities in fatal and non-fatal opioid overdoses among population subgroups, geographic areas, and/or institutions. Some groups that are being disproportionately affected by opioid overdoses are African Americans, incarcerated individuals, people with a history of substance use, people experiencing homelessness, people living with HIV/AIDS or chronic conditions, and people entering or leaving substance use treatment.​
