The Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council has announced the availability of $20 million in additional grants for opioid remediation activities. This funding comes on top of tens of millions of dollars already allocated through a competitive grant application process, according to WBIR News. The council distributes funds to county governments and community organizations to support substance abuse treatment, prevention programs and other initiatives aimed at addressing the opioid crisis. The Tennessee General Assembly said applicants interested in submitting proposals to the council can do so through its website. The portal will be open for groups to submit proposals Nov. 12 through Dec. 13.
