A new BPC report [[link removed]] includes the first comprehensive and transparent study of how the federal government is financially supporting states and localities to curb this national crisis. It calls for federal funding to be more flexible, sustainable, coordinated, and transparent.
 
The report tracks all federal funding distributed to states in fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2018 to fight the opioid epidemic and how these resources are being spent. BPC’s robust analysis identified 57 federal programs across five departments and multiple agencies, including the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy that, either entirely or significantly, fund efforts on the state level to tackle the epidemic.
