“By allocating opioid settlement funding to bolster community health initiatives, we’re not just addressing a community problem – but investing in the well-being and resilience of our County,” said Pasco County Board of County Commissioners Chair Ron Oakley.  “Let’s turn the tide on substance use disorder and transform these funds into pathways of hope, healing and a brighter future for all.”

The more than $6 million fund gives grants to community-based organizations across Pasco County with projects that directly address treatment, prevention and recovery for people and communities affected by the opioid crisis.
