The Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Violence and Injury Prevention Program (VIPP) is excited to announce the release of the Advancing Harm Reduction and Navigation to Care Funding Request For Application.
We are seeking proposals from qualified organizations to support Syringe Service Programs (SSPs) and harm reduction initiatives aimed at initiating, expanding, and supporting programs and outreach by navigators (e.g., people with lived experience, case managers) to promote access to harm reduction services (such as SSPs) and to link people to care from harm reduction services, as appropriate.
