To date, Colorado is on track to receive more than $750 million in opioid settlement funds from different pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors.
The City of Loveland will receive $1.8 million after it opted into the settlement funds in 2021. The city hopes to create a street outreach program with part of the $340,000 it’s already received.
“It’s really not enough money to be able to do something like build housing for people to go to recover, but it is enough money to start a street outreach program,” said Alison Hade, the Community Partnership Office manager for the City of Loveland.
