Peer Navigator Funding Application

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is soliciting applications from organizations to provide navigator services to people who use drugs (PWUDs) who may be at risk of overdose. A navigator is defined as any individual who works directly with individuals with use substances to ensure they have the tools and resources to seek care. Importantly, they aide PWUD in accessing harm reduction services and social supports, as well as assisting with accessing treatment and supporting retention in substance use disorder (SUD) care. Navigators will work to meet PWUDs where they are and connect them with community resources, harm reduction services, and facilitate connection to treatment services. Eligible organizations include syringe service providers, community-based organizations, non-profit organizations, municipal, county, or Tribal agencies (including, but not limited to health and human services, and social services), and health systems/clinics. Applications in response to this request for applications (RFA) must be submitted online. Applicants must conduct their work in the state of Wisconsin and must be comfortable with navigators participating in harm reduction work. The deadline to apply for this funding opportunity is 11:59 p.m. on July 1, 2024. Email: Lataysha.james@dhs.wisconsin.gov
