Overview

Summary

Hingham Department of Health hereby issues this Grant RFP for nonprofit entities, government entities or other qualified applicants to provide opioid response strategies including opioid prevention, harm reduction, recovery and treatment services.

The Town of Hingham is taking part in a National Opioid Settlement reached by the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General (AG) and several opioid manufacturers and distributors. This settlement makes funds available to individual municipalities across the Commonwealth, which are required to adopt strategies for expanding opioid prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction services in the communities they serve. In response, one of the Town of Hingham goals is to award reimbursable grant funds through a competitive request for proposals (RFP) to local nonprofits, government entities or other qualified applicants that will provide opioid-related services.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 31, 2024

Background

State Attorney Generals across the U.S. have recently settled and/or are in the process of settling historic opioid-related lawsuits with major opioid manufacturers and distributors. To date, it is estimated that these settlements will yield approximately 26 billion dollars awarded to 46 states as part of the National Opioid Settlement. Massachusetts stands to receive over $525 million from participation in these settlements over the next several decades. The Town of Hingham stands to receive approximately 1 million over the course of sixteen years based on current projections. On the state level, 60% of funds will be retained by the newly established Massachusetts Opioid Recovery and Remediation Trust Fund for statewide use. On the local level, 40% of funds will be distributed by the state for use by individual municipalities under a State-Subdivision Agreement.
