American Rescue Plan: Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long announces application extension for the Prevention and Recovery Support Services fund.

DOVER, DE – In September, Lieutenant Governor Bethany Hall-Long, PhD, RN, announced the creation of the Prevention and Recovery Support Services Fund to reduce overdose deaths across Delaware by addressing barriers to sustained recovery such as transportation, housing and workforce capacity.

The deadline for applications has been extended. Organizations, including service providers and community organizations, may submit funding applications up until Friday, November 4, 2022, at 5 p.m. The application can be accessed at: https://ltgov.delaware.gov/recovery-management-support-services-fund/.

Funding may be used to eliminate the barriers Delawareans experiencing, or at-risk for developing substance use disorder face when accessing support services. As the rise in drug overdose deaths has disproportionately impacted Black and Brown communities and people living in rural areas, projects addressing service needs in impacted communities will be prioritized.

The fund leverages funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which was championed by Delaware’s Congressional Delegation – U.S. Senators Tom Carper and Chris Coons and Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester.

Visit de.gov/rescueplan to learn more about the initiatives funded by ARPA.
