OVERVIEW
Since the 1970s, UCS has increased resources and access to substance abuse services through the Drug and Alcoholism Council (DAC) of Johnson County—a volunteer advisory body that oversees county alcohol/drug planning and allocations. This benefits the community by preventing and treating substance abuse, leading to lower healthcare costs, reduced crimes, child abuse and neglect, and increased employment and productivity.
CURRENT GRANT CYCLE
2026 Grant Cycle Opened: May 1, 2025
2026 Grant Cycle Closed: July 28, 2025 by 12 p.m.
Applicant Criteria: Applicants must be a nonprofit, a Johnson County public school district, or a program of Johnson County government or the 10th Judicial District Court. Nonprofit organizations must be in compliance with each item on the Agency Standards Checklist. Programs of Johnson County Government, school districts, or the 10th Judicial Court must complete the checklist to the extent applicable.
Applicants wishing to apply for OSF and/or ATF who did not receive funding in 2025 must discuss their request with Erika García Reyes at erikag@ucsjoco.org prior to submission.
Budget Tracking and Reporting: SUF applicants receiving both ATF and OSF dollars must separately track ATF and OSF expenditures in their budget and report separately on individuals served, units of service, and outcomes achieved with each funding. The DAC acknowledges the high likelihood of client overlap between ATF and OSF programs. If an individual accesses services from both programs offered by the same agency, that agency should count them as a single individual for each program. Units of service and outcomes must be reported separately for ATF and OSF programs.
Funding Priorities: Every 3-5 years, SUF funding priorities are developed through a formal planning process involving key stakeholders, current literature review, and indicator data analysis in Johnson County. The Funding Priorities report summarizes the recent planning process, including DAC-approved priorities, methodology, and information review.
SUF APPLICATION
The DAC makes funding recommendations for allocation of both pooled Alcohol Tax Funds (ATF) as well as pooled Opioid Settlement Funds (OSF) from contributing jurisdictions. Agencies use a single application to apply for either ATF or OSF funding, or for both ATF and OSF funds.
