The Opioid Abatement Funding Advisory Board in Escambia County has approved nine partners for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 funding. These partners, including Bright Bridge, EMS Core, Health and Hope Clinic, Hope Above Fear, Lakeview AIM, Ministry Village, Offentsive, REAP, and YMCA partnering with Community Health, have received their notices to proceed. Their first month of activity began in April, and all have fully executed contracts. Some have already submitted reimbursement requests, with payments being processed. This funding is for projects that began activity in late March and will continue through Fiscal Year 2026. The approved partners will be undertaking various initiatives related to opioid abatement. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers may find opportunities in supporting these approved partners as their projects get underway. Early engagement with these organizations could provide insight into their specific needs for services and materials.
