Opportunity Overview
Hubbard County Human Services is accepting applications for the first round of Hubbard County Opioid Settlement Fund grants. The County has made $125,000 available for this round to support new or expanded programs addressing the impact of opioid use disorder in Hubbard County.
Funding and Deadline
Eligible organizations may request up to $50,000. The County states that no matching funds are required and that awards are reimbursable. The grant period is January 1 through December 31, 2027.
The controlling County sources currently contain a timing discrepancy. The main Opioid Settlement Fund page says the first round opened August 18, 2026 and closes September 15, 2026, with applications submitted by that date receiving first consideration and later applications accepted until the $125,000 round is awarded. A later detailed County announcement states an September 18, 2026 application deadline and likewise says the window may remain open if the full amount has not been awarded. Neither source publishes a clock time or time zone. Applicants should use the County’s current instructions and confirm timing directly with Hubbard County before filing.
Eligibility and Geography
The County identifies eligible partners broadly, including nonprofits, schools, healthcare providers, treatment and recovery organizations, and other agencies serving people affected by opioid misuse in Hubbard County.
Eligible Focus and Cost Controls
Funded work must align with Minnesota opioid settlement remediation strategies, including treatment for opioid use disorder, support for treatment and recovery, connections to care, support for pregnant or parenting people and families, prevention, first responder strategies, leadership and coordination, training, research, and post-mortem strategies.
The County states that capital construction, lobbying, and supplementing existing program budgets are not allowable. Funded organizations are expected to participate in quarterly check-ins and submit an annual outcomes report.
Application and Submission
The official County page links the current application document and grant announcement. Applicants should use those official materials for the required application content and submission instructions. Atlas has not independently verified every application-form field, attachment requirement, scoring element, reference requirement, or submission mechanic from the linked DOCX, so applicants should review the live County materials before submission.
Strategic Fit
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a currently open Minnesota public-health and behavioral-health opportunity with meaningful local funding, no required match, and express support for opioid treatment, recovery, prevention, and connections to care.
N9+ Fit: 45/100 conditional. A remote clinical examination workflow could be relevant only where an eligible applicant proposes a legitimate treatment or connection-to-care project that requires guided examinations, vitals, or telehealth-enabled clinical encounters and the County approves the cost. The public grant announcement does not specifically authorize remote-examination technology, so Atlas does not assume allowability.
QC Healthcare Fit: 25/100 conditional. Clinical support could be relevant in an applicant-led care-access project, but no QC-specific role is established by the public materials.
Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit: not cleared. The current public materials do not establish that Dr. Miltie independently serves Hubbard County residents or otherwise meets the applicant-specific local program requirements. No direct application is being advanced.
