Funding | Emergency Treatment Fund 2024 ( closes November 8 at 2:00 pm EST)

  • Building on historic health care investments, including in mental health and substance use, Budget 2024 provided $150 million over 3 years for an Emergency Treatment Fund (ETF) for municipalities and Indigenous communities to help provide rapid responses to emergent, critical needs related to the substance use and overdose crisis.

  • Through this 2024 national call for proposals, Health Canada's ETF will provide time-limited contribution funding to municipalities and Indigenous communities across Canada.

  • The primary priority for the ETF Call For Proposals 2024 is to address urgencies related to the overdose crisis, as applied to an individual community's context.

    • All proposals should include supporting evidence that describes the urgency of the situation in their community and why it is important to carry out the project quickly.

    • Evidence of urgency could include:

    • States of emergency

    • Community impact statements

    • Local public health data or other community-level data

    • Data on substance use trends and impacts (for example, increases in overdose rates)

  • Projects must demonstrate that they are responding to urgent needs to be considered for funding.

  • Additionally, Health Canada will further prioritize projects that can demonstrate financial feasibility and project readiness.
