Opportunity Overview
Washington County Public Health and Environment is accepting applications for community-based projects seeking opioid settlement funding in Washington County, Minnesota. The county states that its opioid response emphasizes harm reduction, racial and health equity, Washington County needs, and evidence-grounded approaches.
Funding and Deadline
Washington County states that up to $800,000 will be distributed through the 2026 funding round. The current public page does not publish a universal per-project minimum or maximum. Applications are due October 2, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. The official page publishes the date and clock time but does not state a time zone, so applicants should confirm the filing time zone with Washington County rather than infer one.
Eligibility and Geography
The county says the opportunity is open to everyone, with applicants ranging from organizations to individual community members. Proposed work must be a community-based opioid-response project responsive to Washington County needs. Current county materials describe opioid-response priorities around harm reduction, health equity, evidence, treatment and connection to care.
Application Controls and Verification Limits
Applications are submitted through Washington County’s linked 2026 online application form. The live Formstack application is accessible as the county’s submission route but its field-level contents were not machine-readable during this verification. Atlas therefore does not infer any form-only match or cost-share terms, eligible or prohibited line-item costs, procurement/vendor requirements, required attachments, qualifications, references, scoring, certifications, amendment terms, or FAQs. Those controls must be confirmed directly in the current application before a project is advanced or submitted.
No solicitation number is published on the county opportunity page. The current public page also does not state a per-applicant ceiling.
Strategic Fit
Atlas Opportunity Score: 92/100. This is a substantial, currently open local behavioral-health and public-health funding opportunity with broad applicant access and an explicit community opioid-response purpose.
N9+ Fit: 40/100 conditional. A remote physical examination platform could be relevant only inside a legitimate, county-approved opioid treatment, recovery, clinical-access, post-overdose, or care-navigation model where guided examinations, vitals, and telehealth-enabled encounters are necessary and the current application permits the associated costs. Atlas does not treat this as a general technology grant and will not force fit.
QC Healthcare Fit: 35/100 conditional. Clinical support may be relevant to an allowable treatment or care-access project, but the current public page does not establish a QC-specific role.
Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit: conditional and not cleared. The county’s public page is broad enough that a business entity is not excluded by entity type, but Dr. Miltie, LLC has not established a Washington County community opioid project, applicant-controlled need, local delivery plan, budget, partnerships, or form-specific compliance. No direct application is being advanced on the present evidence.
