This Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit input into Boston’s use of Opioid Settlement Funding. The RFI is one of multiple ways we are seeking input from Boston residents and organizations who have been most affected by the opioid epidemic such as families, people with opioid use disorder, and service providers. This RFI does not constitute strategic planning. The funding is limited and cannot sustain large projects.
We are requesting demographic information as part of your responses so that we can ensure we are reaching populations who are historically marginalized.
