BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
On June 28, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution 2021-077 agreeing to participate in the Florida Unified Plan governing the allocation and use of Opioid settle proceeds. Use of the monies is essentially limited to treatment and education of opioid/substance abuse.
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) requires that CFBHN enter into agreements with organizations under the Coordinated Opioid Recovery (CORE) Network of Addiction Care and in accordance with the Florida Opioid
Allocation and Statewide Response Agreement, executed November 15, 2021.
Per DCF, “According to the Florida Opioid Allocation and Statewide Response Agreement between Local Governments and the Office of the Attorney General, opioid settlement funds may only be used for approved purposes, which include, but are not limited to, all of the opioid- related prevention, treatment, and recovery support services and opioid abatement strategies listed in Schedule A (Core Strategies) and Schedule B (Approved Uses) from Florida Opioid. Allocation and Statewide Response Agreement. Local Governments may choose from the approved uses in Schedule B, but priority must be given to the core strategies in Schedule A.
