Family Overdose Support Fund

The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) is the local public health department for the City of Boston. BPHC’s mission is to work in partnership with communities to protect and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, especially those impacted by racism and systemic inequities.

BPHC is seeking one organization to co-design, administer, document, and report on the Family Overdose Support Fund for Boston families. The organization will partner with BPHC on developing the model and refining it over time, based on evaluation and feedback.

The Family Overdose Support Fund will provide financial aid to Boston families who have lost a member to overdose, modeled after (1) how the State offers support to families who have lost someone to violence, and (2) Boston’s fund supporting victims of the Marathon Bombing. Each year the Family Overdose Support Fund will receive $250,000 in Boston settlements dollars. These funds can support approximately 50 families up to $5,000 per family.
