Missoula County and the City of Missoula Announces Awardees for the First Cycle of the Opioid Settlement Grant Funding

Missoula County and the City of Missoula recently announced disbursement of grant funding from the Missoula Metropolitan Abatement Region Opioid Settlement Trust for the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years. Of the 29 applicants, the committee chose five existing local government programs to receive this grant funding. This application cycle received nearly $9.3 million in requested funds for an annual availability of $750,000. See all ranked applicants under documents.

This cycle’s awardees include the City of Missoula’s Pathways for Housing Stability and Housing Sprint for Johnson Street Emergency Shelter programs, Partnership Health Center’s Community Care Team and the Missoula Public Health Substance Abuse Prevention and Foster Child Health programs. The total disbursement for this first round is $1.7 million to be split between two fiscal years. Please see below for a full line item of grant funding disbursement.

To be eligible to receive opioid settlement funds, applicants must meet one of the three focus areas outlined in the grant opportunity. Submissions are then reviewed by the Missoula Opioid Abatement Program committee made up of the city and county officials and administrators. Chosen applications are then sent to the state government to make sure they meet federal guidelines for the settlement trust. Funding is then distributed directly to the program.

The Missoula Metropolitan Abatement Region is eligible for nearly $750,000 in funding for three fiscal years, for a total of $2.2 million over a three-year period. The Missoula Opioid Abatement Program committee plans to review new or ongoing funding requests for fiscal year 2028 in late 2026.
