Harm Reduction Grants

Ab​​out​

Through our grant programs, the ​Maryland Department of Health Behavioral Health Administration Office of Harm Reduction (OHR) (formerly ​Center for H​arm Reduction Services ​or CHRS)​ supports the local implementation of harm reduc​tion programs and ensures statewide access to resources for harm reduction activities, including naloxone. ​Ap​​plications for new funding are closed at this time. These grants support OHR's goals of reducing substance-related morbidity and mortality by optimizing services for people who use drugs. OHR currently provides funding to 50 organizations (28 nonprofits and 22 Local Health Departments) to conduct activities that work towards the strategic goal. ACCESS stands for "Advancing Cross-Cutting Engagement and Service Strategies for People Who Use Drugs." ​​​Please contact [email protected]​ with any questions.​​
