The Opioid Settlement Fund is a vital resource stemming from national legal settlements with pharmaceutical companies, designed to support communities in their fight against the opioid epidemic. In Franklin County, Stayin’ Alive serves as a local coordinating council that accepts applications for projects aimed at prevention, treatment, recovery, and justice reform.
All proposals undergo a thorough review by the county’s Opioid Committee to ensure compliance with strict state and federal guidelines governing the use of these funds. Final approval rests with the Franklin County Commissioners, who oversee the responsible allocation of dollars to initiatives that will make a measurable impact on public health and community resilience.
