Iowa opens 13 million opioid treatment grants in two programs
Gov. Reynolds announced two grant programs totaling 13 million for Iowa opioid treatment and recovery projects funded by federal ARPA money. The 10 million Infrastructure grant supports existing centers upgrades while 3 million Recovery Housing funds nonprofit sober housing. Remaining 4.5 million funds a prescription-reduction effort, overdose prevention, and a Cambridge youth recovery center project. The infrastructure grant runs through Sept. 30 and the housing grant July 29 to Oct. 31. The statement followed June unemployment data showing 2.8 percent rate and 46,600 unemployed Iowans. The IDEAS award honored Secretary of State Paul Pate for poll worker recruitment efforts since 2020. The DNR probes a manure spill in Mud Creek, O'Brien County, causing a multi-mile fish kill and advising against creek water use.
