The funds are part of a $54 billion federal settlement agreement reached in 2021 with Opioid manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. At the time, Indiana learned it would receive $507 million of those funds over an 18-year period; the approximately $1.3 million for which the city is seeking proposals includes funds remaining from the city’s allocation last year, as well as the city’s full allocation this year.
