The delegation fought to secure this funding to help the state address the substance use disorder (SUD) in the government funding legislation for fiscal year (FY) 2024 that was signed into law. “These federal resources are critically important to helping New Hampshire combat the opioid and addiction epidemic, and I’m pleased we have secured an increase in funding with this grant,” said Congressman Pappas. “I remain committed to bringing every resource to bear to help save lives and allow those suffering from addiction to get the help they need. I'll keep fighting to deliver support to our state to ensure first responders, health providers, and our friends, neighbors, and family members have the tools they need to end the substance use disorder crisis.” “Too many Granite Staters have been lost to the opioid epidemic and I’m pleased that this funding, which I fought hard for, will provide New Hampshire with the flexibility to adapt to and address the crisis as it has impacted so many of our communities,” said Senator Shaheen. “As an appropriator, I’ll continue working to ensure the State Opioid Response program gets the resources it needs so we can put more people on the path to long-term recovery.” “The fentanyl crisis has devastated families across New Hampshire, and State Opioid Response funding provides essential resources for prevention, treatment, and recovery across our state,” said Senator Hassan. “Granite Staters have again and again told me about the heartbreaking impacts of the fentanyl crisis on their families, and the need to continue combating this epidemic in every way we can. We must stay focused on increasing access to evidence-based, lifesaving treatment; preventing addiction in the first place; and supporting law enforcement and health professionals’ response to this crisis.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:12:30Z |
