Delaware County Direct Share Opioid Settlement Funds
November 19, 2025
In 2022, the Delaware County Board of Supervisors instituted a committee of persons having a demonstrated interest in response to the opioid crisis faced by our county to review and approve proposals requesting funding from Opioid Settlement Funds the County has received. The Opioid Settlement Committee (OSC) comprises of Town Supervisors, County Department heads, and a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS). Each member brings to the table first-hand experience and knowledge of how the opioid crisis has had a significant impact on the residents of Delaware County.
Upon submission of requests for Opioid Settlement funding (see Delaware County Request for Funding Proposal (RFP), Dated February 21, 2024, updated June 20, 2024) on the Delaware County website: www.delcony.us/blog/delaware-county-opioid-settlement-fund/, the OSC will review each proposal and vote to approve or deny funding. The Opioid Settlement Committee may ask the proposing organization to attend an OSC meeting to provide more details of their proposal and answer any questions the committee may have.
