Opioid Task Force Meeting 9/11

The Genesee County Opioid Task Force meeting held on September 11, 2026, focused primarily on the development and refinement of a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for opioid settlement funds. The committee discussed splitting the funding into two grant categories: mini grants of $25,000 or less aimed at smaller or newer organizations, and larger grants for more established programs. Key topics included eligibility criteria, budget caps for applicants, reporting requirements, and payment structures to accommodate smaller organizations that may face reimbursement challenges. The group also considered aligning grant applications with community needs assessments and discussed the potential for leveraging matching funds from state grants. Scheduling for future meetings and quorum issues were also addressed. No formal votes were recorded during this session, but action items included finalizing RFP language and coordinating with the county purchasing department to ensure compliance with procurement policies.
