Funding Dispersed

The Suffolk County Opioid Settlement Fund is meant to bring positive, lasting change. Spreading the spend of the whole Fund over a period of many years better ensures that there will be a sustainable source of money to bring about this change, especially as new challenges arise. This time will also allow the County to analyze the effectiveness of the many program approaches taken; what is working, and what is not working. With this data, the County can adjust future funding and focus on activities that bring the most value to the community.

Many of these agencies will received funding for their awarded programs for multiple years, some up to 3 years. This means that funding for many programs will continue into 2027. Funding is dispersed (paid to) to the agency through a vouchering process.
