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 2021, 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 use the money to save lives, use evidence to guide spending, invest in youth prevention, focus on equity for impacted communities across the Commonwealth, and create a fair and transparent process.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to provide settlement dollars for treatment or recovery focused efforts addressing the opioid epidemic. Projects submitted under this category should primarily focus on addressing active opioid misuse such as linking individuals to substance use treatment or retaining individuals in substance use treatment. This may include supportive services that help build recovery capital such as workforce development, education, family togetherness, housing, and transportation.
