DHS Provides Update on Distribution of Latest Opioid Settlement Funds

"Seeks ideas for investing fiscal year 2026 opioid settlement funds"

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) awarded agencies in communities across the state more than $21 million from the state’s latest share of opioid settlement funds from October through December of 2024, the largest amount awarded in a quarterly period since Wisconsin began receiving funds in 2022 from the national litigation against pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmaceutical distributors, and pharmacy chains. Grants awarded support projects designed to prevent non-medical use of opioids, reduce the harms of opioid use, and expand access to treatment and recovery supports for people with an opioid use disorder. 

“This funding continues to embrace evidence-based approaches to meet people where they’re at,” said DHS Director of Substance Use Initiatives Michelle Haese. “We are making intentional investments in supports and services for Wisconsinites, ultimately helping to improve and save the lives of people experiencing substance misuse or substance use disorders.”
