Overview
Between Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 and FY 2024, a total of $110 million was designated for regional abatement, which included eight regions, five large cities, and 21 other municipalities. Specific to the eight regions, $96 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.
