Opioid Epidemic Information and Resources

Opioid addiction is an enormous and frightening challenge for the entire country. The potential impacts to Minnesota cities include an array of significant, direct, and indirect costs to public health and public safety resources. To help cities deal with this issue, the League has compiled a list of reliable resources created by organizations with expertise and experience in this area.

The League will continue to watch this issue and update this list as necessary. If you have a story to share or a request for more resources, please contact the League at [email protected].

Annual Reporting Requirement – Due March 31st

Cities who received a direct payment from the opioid settlements are required to make an annual report with the Department of Human Services.  Joining the settlements alone does not trigger the need for an annual report. Disbursements and grants from your county would be reported by the county rather than the city.

If your city received funds directly from the opioid settlements between April 1 and March 31, follow this link for the Opioid settlement reporting dashboard.  This is an annual requirement – due March 31 of each year funds were received.
