The countywide Quick Response Team has done roughly 526 outreach visits and placed 43 people into treatment, and fatal overdoses are down more than 50% since 2020. But if opioid settlement funding isn't approved by October 1, the program shuts down.

Impact analysis
About $124,000 in opioid abatement funds for the police officer component this year, plus a pending $1 million federal COSAP grant for Hope Not Handcuffs.
People struggling with addiction and their families across the whole county, plus every community affected by overdose.
If funding falls through, overdose survivors lose the follow-up support that's saving lives.
