U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly today welcomed major federal funding grants to help Indiana communities combat the opioid abuse epidemic. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment awarded Indiana's Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) more than $18 million for prevention, treatment, and recovery services. FSSA will be in charge of allocating the funds throughout the state. Donnelly said, These federal funds will help our state continue the fight against the opioid abuse epidemic, in communities large and small across Indiana. We know that it will take everyone working together on prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts as we connect Hoosiers battling addiction with the resources they need. I will continue working with anyone willing as we address this public health crisis. Donnelly also announced planning grants from the Rural Communities Opioids Response Program awarded to four health organizations in Indiana: Affiliated Service Providers of Indiana in Warsaw; Indiana Rural Health Association in Linton; Marion General Hospital in Marion; and Porter Starke Services in Valparaiso. These grants, from HHS's Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), will help fund the development of plans to implement evidence-based opioid use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery interventions. Donnelly wrote letters to HHS in support of both Affiliated Service Providers of Indiana and Indiana Rural Health Association. Details on the federal grants: Affiliated Service Providers Of Indiana $200,000 Indiana Rural Health Association $200,000 Marion General Hospital $200,000 Porter Starke Services $200,000 For information on how Senator Donnelly's office can assist cities, municipalities, and groups applying for federal grants, please visit https://www.donnelly.senate.gov/help/grants. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
