Overview

Mosaic Opioid Recovery Partnership - Family Resilience Grant (MA) RIZE will award $7,500,000 over three years to organizations leading local initiatives to address critical gaps in care for children and families impacted by the opioid crisis. The maximum request is $500,000 annually. Specific attention will be paid to the applicant’s budget to ensure alignment with the organization’s size and scope. This grant program will provide funding for comprehensive support services to enhance family stability, improve child well-being, and strengthen community resources. Specifically, the objectives include: Empowering families through education, trauma-informed care, and navigation of social systems Improving housing stability for families and youth to cultivate healthier communities Enhancing developmental, educational, and emotional support systems for children and families Promoting the well-being of families by providing comprehensive peer recovery support and harm reduction education, ultimately fostering a healthy environment for reunification and healing We anticipate the funding will support 5 to 10 organizations. Projects should embed a family-centered approach, emphasizing the collective well-being of the family rather than focusing solely on the individual. This perspective recognizes that challenges one family member faces can impact the entire family unit and that family support can be crucial for success. Projects may include support for grandparents raising grandchildren, parent(s) with lived and living experience, other caregivers impacted by substance use, and/or direct support for children. For the purposes of this grant, “family” is defined broadly to encompass various structures that include traditional nuclear families, extended families (such as grandparents, aunts, uncles), chosen families, and guardians or caregivers who play a significant role in a child’s life. The key focus is on those who provide emotional, physical, and social support, regardless of legal guardianship or formal custody arrangements. This inclusive definition aims to recognize the diverse ways in which caregiving and familial relationships manifest in the context of recovery and support.
