This funding supports local overdose prevention coalitions to reduce overdose deaths from illicitly manufactured fentanyl and other drugs through implementation of overdose prevention, treatment and harm reduction strategies.

The following 15 coalitions will receive awards up to $75k per year through August 2027:

  • OD Free Marin

We will also be able to build on the provider connections we’re currently working on to increase access and availability of treatment and harm reduction services across the county.”
