The California Youth Opioid Response (YOR California) project is seeking applicants for YOR 4 grant funding. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to successfully provide treatment services and/or expand access for youth, TAY, and young adults with OUD/StUD and/or those at risk of misusing illicit substances and counterfeit pharmaceuticals often mixed with fentanyl.
The YOR Model is based on the experience, accomplishments, and lessons learned by previous YOR California grantees as well as established evidenced based practices. It combines funding for direct services; peer-to-peer learning through learning collaboratives; training; and direct technical assistance to support grantee efforts. These grants are designed to foster the coordination and strengthening of local partnerships between agencies that touch youth and young adults.
YOR California encourages organizations to apply for this opportunity to ignite innovations and collaboration into efforts to significantly improve the delivery of coordinated services to youth and young adults.

ATTENTION!
Based on applicant inquiries and further consideration, we are providing clarification on the acceptable forms of “Audited Financial Statement” for the YOR grant application.
Organizations with an annual budget of $2 million or more must submit audited financial statements as originally required.
For County, City, and Other Government Organizations: A Comprehensive Financial Report prepared by the controller or auditor is acceptable.
Organizations with an annual budget of less than $2 million may submit any of the following to demonstrate financial health and organizational viability over the past two years:
- Internally prepared financial statements covering at least the past two fiscal years, demonstrating the organization’s financial position and stability.
- The two most recent IRS Form 990s
- A CPA-reviewed or compiled financial statement
- Applicants that have alternative documentation reflecting financial health and sustainability over the past two years may contact YORCalifornia@ahpnet.com until 3/7/2025 to determine acceptability.
