2024–25 recovery housing and supports

The law provides $29 million for community recovery projects for July 2024–June 2025 (retroactive to July 1, 2024). It funds $3 million to build recovery housing in districts that lack it, plus $2 million for a western Iowa project with a dollar‑for‑dollar match. It funds $4.5 million for recovery community centers and $1.5 million for recovery cafes. It funds $1.5 million for recovery respite focused on women and women with children. It also provides $3 million to develop a recovery high school and workforce center. Funds must follow national opioid settlement rules. Grantees must report results, obligate money by June 30, 2027, and can receive only one payment.

More treatment, overdose help, and jail care

Grants expand direct treatment and recovery services. $5 million expands medication‑assisted treatment with mobile and co‑located units and jail partnerships. $2 million places peer‑recovery teams in four rural emergency rooms for post‑overdose help. $1.5 million adds screening, treatment, and navigation in all county jails. $3 million supports adolescent and adult treatment at a nonprofit provider network. $2 million supports a community mental health center’s outpatient, residential, crisis, home health, and housing services. Funds must follow national opioid settlement rules. All grantees must report results, obligate money by June 30, 2027, and can receive only one payment.

Opioid fund rules and 75/25 split

The state creates a separate opioid settlement fund. From July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, 75% of state settlement money goes to Health and Human Services and 25% to the Attorney General. Interest stays in the fund, and unspent money is available through June 30, 2030. Agencies must review local plans, set outcome measures, and report each year by November 1. Administrative costs are capped at 2.5%. Money in the fund can be used only for opioid-abatement appropriations as the law allows.
