Dear Friend,

Welcome to this month’s federal grants newsletter!

As your Congresswoman, it’s my job to help you and your neighbors with any issues you may be experiencing with federal agencies like the VA or Social Security. 

But another priority of mine is helping folks in our community access federal grants. 

From agriculture to arts and culture, there are several grant opportunities available right now for those who qualify. Click here for more information on open federal grants – and remember to bookmark this page as it will frequently be updated!

Below are a few highlighted opportunities that are currently open for applications:

Rural Substance Use Disorder Impact Program

The purpose of Rural Substance Use Disorder Impact Program is to improve access to integrated and coordinated substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery services, to reduce morbidity and mortality from SUD and promote long-term, sustained recovery. If you have questions, please contact ruralopioidresponse@hrsa.gov.

Rural Hospital Stabilization Pilot Program

This program will help rural hospitals expand their services to meet community health needs while increasing their revenues. The program will achieve these goals by providing expert technical assistance to rural hospitals to conduct market assessments, determine ways to enhance existing service lines, and start new service lines to keep services locally. The program will also provide direct financial support to help with associate costs of service lines. This program will also have the affect of helping facilities address long-standing rural disparities. If you have questions, please contact rmoscato@hrsa.gov.

Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program

The purpose of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program is to improve maternal and child health, early childhood development, and family well-being by providing pregnant people and parents with children up to kindergarten entry—especially those living in communities identified as at risk for poor maternal and child health outcomes—with voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services. If you have questions, please contact RHerzfeldt-Kamprath@hrsa.gov.

My staff and I can help you find relevant federal grants, write letters of support for your application, and assist in other ways. Please do not hesitate to call us at (503) 385-0906 and a member of my team will be in touch.

Be well,
