Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network (SEFBHN), administering Indian River County opioid-settlement funding, is accepting applications for the Indian River FY 26/27 Opioid Abatement Request for Applications.
Deadline: October 9, 2026 at 3:00 P.M. EST, according to the current SEFBHN opportunity page. Applications must be submitted electronically to Peter.Bosco@sefbhn.org.
Funding: The solicitation states that funding is contingent on Indian River County opioid-settlement allocations. No total funding pool or per-applicant maximum is stated in the current RFA materials reviewed by Atlas.
Eligibility: Local governments, nonprofit organizations, behavioral-health providers, educational institutions, and criminal-justice entities serving Indian River County. Applicants must demonstrate behavioral-health service-delivery experience and capacity to implement opioid-abatement strategies.
Priority uses: Treatment and recovery support, prevention and education, harm reduction, criminal-justice interventions, services for families and children, workforce development, and related approved opioid-settlement uses. Stated local priorities include MAT access, jail-to-community transitions, crisis response, services for pregnant/postpartum women and infants with NAS, transitional housing, peer workforce, overdose prevention, and syringe-service programs.
Application requirements: The RFA uses a two-phase evaluation process. Written applications must satisfy mandatory criteria and are scored before selected applicants proceed to oral presentation. The solicitation calls for required certifications, applicable licenses, supporting letters, and a detailed budget/narrative. Applicants should check the issuer page for posted Q&A and addenda before submission.
Source-control note: SEFBHN now links a corrected FY 26/27 RFA dated for the active cycle. The controlling RFA and live opportunity schedule both require applications by October 9, 2026 at 3:00 P.M. EST. The separately posted 2026 applicant Q&A still contains one stale October 10, 2025 deadline reference, so Atlas is preserving that document-level inconsistency while using the current RFA and live schedule as the operational deadline.
Atlas assessment: Atlas Opportunity Score 90/100. N9+ Fit Score 78/100, conditional. The Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform may support guided examinations, vitals, and telehealth-enabled clinical encounters within an applicant-led MAT, mobile care, justice-transition, or related opioid-treatment workflow. Appendix B expressly includes equipment as a budget category and asks applicants to justify purchase or lease need and maintenance costs, which strengthens conditional N9+ fit; it does not guarantee approval of a specific device, and any subcontracted services require prior SEFBHN approval. QC Healthcare/Dr. Miltie may fit as an applicant-side clinical or technology partner. Dr. Miltie is not advanced as a direct applicant because the required behavioral-health/provider experience and compliance documentation have not been established.
Applicant lead: Treasure Coast Community Health is a strong Florida applicant candidate based on its Indian River County clinical and behavioral-health footprint and justice-involved care work. Any outreach remains subject to Atlas deduplication, eligibility, recipient verification, Email Opt-Out, and deadline gates.
