A total of $1.5 million in grants will flow from Attorney General Maura Healey’s office to 16 organizations across the state that plan to use the money to fund recovery coaches, bilingual staff, outreach efforts and other measures aimed at expanding access for communities of color to opioid use treatment and recovery programs.
Healey announced the grants and discussed the initiatives during a virtual roundtable discussion Tuesday with some of the awardees, in which she said her office will aim to provide more such funding in the future. The grants were funded by a settlement Healey’s office last year reached with the Andover-based Injured Workers Pharmacy over its prescription drug dispensing practices.
