Forsyth County Opioid Settlement Funding

As part of the Opioid Settlement, Forsyth County is expected to receive more than $38 million over an 18-year period. A Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and local governments direct how opioid settlement funds are distributed and used in our state. Forsyth County has elected Option B which may involve funding strategies from the Exhibit A list, or a longer list of strategies found in Exhibit B. Funds shall be used to respond to the negative impacts of the opioid epidemic to Forsyth County residents through implementation of high-impact evidence-based strategies.

Information about how opioid settlement funds can be used in North Carolina, including Option A and Option B Exhibits, is available on the NC MOA Resource Center website. Additional information about the opioid settlements is available on NC DOH's MorePowerfulNC website and on the Community Opioid Resources Engine for North Carolina (CORE-NC).
