REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

FOR

OPIOID ABATEMENT SETTLEMENT GRANT

PART I: OVERVIEW

The State of Louisiana is actively responding to the opioid crisis, a public health emergency that

has caused widespread harm across communities. As part of a national effort to address the

impact of opioid misuse, Louisiana has entered settlements resulting from litigation against major

pharmaceutical companies and distributors. These settlements are a critical step towards

remediation and provide significant financial resources for opioid epidemic abatement efforts

within the state. Louisiana is anticipated to receive approximately $354 million from these initial

settlements. St. Tammany Parish will be allotted a portion of these funds, expected to be

approximately $25 million over an 18-year period. The Louisiana Opioid Abatement Task Force

monitors the allocation of funds to ensure that the funds are used effectively to address the opioid

crisis.

1.1 Background/Purpose

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to obtain proposals from qualified Proposers

who are interested in providing an Opioid Abatement Settlement Grant proposal to address

prevention, treatment, and recovery services to those impacted by the opioid use disorder in St.

Tammany Parish. Submittal of a proposal does not create any right or expectation to a contract

with the Parish.

The opioid crisis represents one of the most significant public health emergencies facing

communities across Louisiana — including St. Tammany Parish. Data from recent years show

that St. Tammany has consistently ranked among the parishes with the highest numbers of opioid-

involved deaths in the state. The Opioid Abatement Settlement grant is targeting local

organizations that see the need in their community and want to respond in innovative,

collaborative ways, creating pathways to recovery, resilience, and independence for communities

so greatly impacted by the opioid crisis. The goal is to bring prevention and support services to

those individuals and families impacted by opioid use disorder in St. Tammany Parish by

expanding or enhancing existing evidence-based programs. This initiative is designed to support

programs and efforts aligned with St. Tammany Parish's core strategies for opioid crisis

abatement, including prevention, treatment, and recovery support services. We invite eligible

entities and organizations to participate in this significant effort to address and mitigate the opioid

crisis in St. Tammany Parish.
