Overview
Between Fiscal Year (FY) FY 2023, FY 2024, FY 2025, and FY 2026, a total of $157 million was designated for regional abatement, which included nine regions, five large cities, and 21 other municipalities. Specific to the nine regions, $136.4 million in opioid settlement funding was provided, with each region allocated a specific amount determined by the Settlement Agreement.
Regional amounts are distributed through the Local Governmental Unit (LGU) for each county in the region. The LGU is the unit of government with authority under New York State Mental Hygiene Law to provide local addiction and mental health services. The regional amounts were distributed to each county based on its population, overdose death rates, and mental health and equity indicators.
OASAS holds regular calls with Local Government Units (LGUs) to address questions related to regional abatements. You can access meeting recordings online.
