# Kentucky Opens 2027 Opioid Abatement Grants

The Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission is accepting applications for its 2027 grants supporting prevention and treatment/recovery programs. Applications are due by **6:00 p.m. ET on December 17, 2026 (58 days remaining)**. The Commission has not announced the 2027 funding pool; it reported awarding nearly $34 million to more than 100 organizations in 2026.

- Eligible organizations working in opioid prevention or treatment and recovery can apply; the 2026 award total provides historical scale, not a confirmed 2027 budget.
