Opioid Settlement Funds

Overview

In 2022, the Michigan Legislature passed MCL 12.253 which created the Opioid Healing and Recovery Fund into which roughly half of all opioid settlement funds (OSF) directed to the state of Michigan are housed. In FY25, MDHHS allocated $1 million to CMHPSM to allocate towards the following expenses:

​

  • Infrastructure improvements

  • Vehicle purchases for providers

  • Technology needs or upgrades

  • Recovery Community Organization supplies

  • Programming related to SUD/OUD

Funding Award Process 

IIn January 2025, CMHPSM communicated information to current CMHPSM contracted providers about FY25 Healing and Recovery Funds. Due to the need for a rapid turnaround in planning and distribution, any interested and eligible organization in the region were asked to complete a brief Healing and Recovery Fund request document. The request document included information about allowable expenses and funding requirements and requests for information on organization needs, cost, how the organization will ensure sustainability and meet the implementation timeline. In FY26, remaining HRCEI funds from the original award followed a similar funding opportunity process and were awarded to providers.

​

  • In total, for both FY25 and FY26 CMHPSM received 31 funding requests. CMHPSM created a scoring rubric to review submissions and scored each submission against regional priorities.

  • In FY25, CMHPSM also received approval from MDHHS to utilize Healing and Recovery funds to cover funded programs that received a cut in ARPA due to the federal and state stop work order.
