Details:
This program offers a unique opportunity to bolster cities’ and towns’ capacity to address the overdose crisis through non-punitive, health-centered approaches to the overdose crisis.
The program emphasizes equity, sustainability, regional collaboration, and community-driven solutions. It supports municipalities at various stages of their efforts—from those just starting to those implementing innovative, data-driven programs. By providing financial assistance at two distinct stages, the program aims to build capacity across communities, ensuring a comprehensive and collaborative response to the overdose crisis.
- Track 1: Planning and Capacity-Building for Early-Stage Municipalities
- This track provides targeted support for municipalities in the early planning stages or those seeking to enhance their current efforts. It focuses on empowering local governments with the resources needed to develop effective, community-informed strategies while adhering to the SSA.
- Track 2: Sustained Support for Early Adopters Implementing Data-Driven Strategies
- This track is aimed at municipalities that have already begun implementing community-informed, data-driven opioid abatement strategies and are ready to initiate, expand, or sustain their efforts.
