DHS Seeks Ideas for $8 Million in Opioid Settlement Funds
?Survey results will help prioritize how to best address opioid use disorder
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is asking the public to share thoughts on how to use a second round of opioid settlement funds to provide guidance on where money should be spent to reduce harms associated with opioid use disorder. Approximately $8 million will be available to support existing or new projects and programs in communities across Wisconsin. People can make their recommendations in a survey starting today through February 17, 2023. The survey is available in English and Spanish..
?The responses we received from the public and partners during listening sessions last year reminded us that addressing opioid use disorder in communities is not one-size-fits- all,? said Paul Krupski, DHS Director of Opioid Initiatives. ?Our plan reflects the specific needs of Wisconsinites, and we intend to use feedback from this year?s survey to do the same.?
