The committee recommended Council approve funding and contracts that will keep emergency shelters running, bring opioid-settlement money to local abatement efforts, start a medication-assisted treatment pilot tied to the Sheriff’s office, and fund low-cost afterschool programs at six elementary schools. For residents this means additional shelter support and resources, new funding for opioid response programs, a pilot program that provides medication-assisted treatment (treatment that uses approved medicines to help people with opioid use disorder), and expanded afterschool options for children.
