Delaware Commission Awards $475K to Combat Opioid Crisis: Seaford, Wilmington, and Newark Receive Grants for New Programs
The Delaware commission has allocated over $475,000 to three local governments to combat the opioid crisis. Seaford, Wilmington, and Newark received funds for new programs aimed at reducing overdoses and supporting communities. This is the first distribution of funds from a $250 million settlement with opioid makers and distributors.
The grants come after a three-year delay due to an inactive committee handling city and county shares. Local leaders showed initiative by proposing targeted ideas, with Seaford receiving the largest share of around $272,000 for park upgrades, deterrents, and youth education partnerships. Newark received $134,000 for a police behavioral health team, and Wilmington got $90,000 for portable defibrillators and naloxone kits.
With more applications expected in June, these grants mark a stronger push by Delaware locals to tackle the opioid crisis using settlement dollars.
