Minneapolis is rolling up its sleeves to tackle the opioid crisis that has gripped the city, armed with an $18 million settlement and a call to its citizens for guidance.
The survey, launched by the City of Minneapolis and seeking community feedback, is open for residents to weigh in on how the funds should be spent to combat the pain reliever, heroin, and fentanyl epidemic. Residents can voice their opinions on unmet needs, barriers to services, and their priorities for utilizing the settlement cash, according to Minneapolis, City of Lake.
The City's push, looking to tap into the very heart of the community affected, doesn't merely ask for an opinion, they require action within a 15-minute timeframe.
Expressing their priorities for how to best address the crisis, participants in the survey will be shaping the future of Minneapolis' battle against opioid abuse. Overcoming the barriers to getting services is just one part of the multifaceted approach the Minneapolis officials are aiming to design, as per Minneapolis, City of Lake.
