The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), in collaboration
with UCLA’s Integrated Substance Abuse Programs, has created an
updated expenditure reporting form for cities and counties to
report on the use of opioid settlement funds. The form will open
on July 1, 2024, and will close on September 30, 2024. A
link to the form will be sent to the listed contacts for each
county and city on July 1, 2024.
DHCS will provide a webinar training on the updated expenditure
reporting form on Wednesday, June 26 from 11:00 am –
12:00 pm. Participants must register in advance, but a
recording and slide deck will be posted on the DHCS opioid
settlements
webpage shortly after the webinar.
Register here.
Additionally, the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the
National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) will also host a
webinar on June 26 at 12:30 pm PST. The webinar,
“Promising Practices for Collaboration on State and Local Opioid
Settlement Spending,” is open to the public and will feature
speakers from Colorado and North Carolina.

Additional resources on opioid settlement funds, including
Frequently Asked Questions, information on allowable
expenditures, and a technical assistance form, is available on
the
DHCS opioid settlement website.
