NACo’s Counties for Housing Solutions will provide free virtual technical assistance to help counties assess and update their zoning codes to increase affordable housing development and overall housing supply.

Kentuckians have been hard hit by the impact of the opioid epidemic, creating numerous challenges for families and communities. In 2022, the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission (KYOAAC) was established by the General Assembly to oversee a trust fund to distribute settlement funds from lawsuits against certain manufacturers and distributors of opioids. The Commission has adopted nationally recognized principles for allocating funds, including using evidence to guide spending. With that in mind, the purpose of this funding opportunity is to provide settlement dollars to support research that could lead to effective novel approaches to addressing the opioid epidemic for the benefit of Kentuckians across the Commonwealth.
New application is active. Email kyoaac@ky.gov for more information.
KYOAAC grants are open to any registered entity (for-profit or non-profit) that is in good standing with the Kentucky Secretary of State, as well as counties, cities, towns, and other government entities.
