HMA partners with state, county, and local government entities nationwide to strategically allocate opioid settlement funds, driving impactful solutions for opioid use disorder (OUD) and overdose prevention. Through collaboration with policymakers, engaged stakeholders, and community members, we help clients develop funding priorities that enhance public health outcomes and improve quality of life. Our team has extensive experience working with counties across the U.S. to design and implement effective OUD programs. By fostering partnerships with clients, community advisory boards, and local organizations, we co-create community engagement strategies, tools, and plans that ensure meaningful participation in decision-making and sustainable program success.
We have a successful track record developing strategic expenditure plans for opioid abatement settlement funds that align with key funding priorities to drive measurable improvements in quality of life for individuals experiencing OUD and to implement effective overdose prevention initiatives.
