The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has launched an opioid settlements website as part of its continued effort to provide up-to-date information about how opioid settlements funds are being invested to support programs and resources that benefit Michiganders, local communities and stakeholders. Michigan has been a leader in distributing opioid funds and ensuring the care, health and well-being of residents in need, and has been recognized as a national leader in harm reduction with efforts highlighted by the National Governors Association. Michigan remains committed to 100% transparency of state dollars received.
The website includes information on the Technical Assistance Collaborative, a partnership between the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University to offer local governments assistance in developing abatement strategies to address the ongoing opioid epidemic. The TAC was announced in April of this year.
