Harm reduction is more than a policy term; it is a public health strategy grounded in dignity, safety, and evidence.

Let’s center community voices in this conversation.

Without careful oversight, Opioid Settlement Funds risk backfilling shrinking budgets instead of expanding care.

These resources must build capacity, not simply maintain the status quo.

The question is not whether these interventions work. The evidence is clear.

The question is whether we will invest in them.

Black, brown, and low-income communities continue to experience disproportionate harm.

Harm reduction strategies — including naloxone distribution, syringe services, drug checking, and low-barrier treatment entry — save lives and connect people to care.

Thousands of New Yorkers continue to die each year from preventable overdose.

While recent data show improvement in some areas, progress remains unequal.

Evidence-based investment means funding strategies proven to:
• Reduce fatal overdose
• Lower infectious disease transmission
• Improve engagement in treatment
• Strengthen long-term recovery

Disbursement of Opioid Settlement Funds should reflect this evidence.

When we say “evidence-based,” we mean interventions backed by clinical research and real-world outcomes.

Harm reduction services and medications for opioid use disorder are not experimental; they are established standards of care.
