At the beginning of the fiscal year , the Opioid Settlement team , in consultation with Budget and <br /> Finance staff, reviewed the amount of available funds in each approved project along with the <br /> status of each projects spending authorization . Upon review , it was determined that multiple <br /> projects needed spending authorization dates extended to account for past spending and allow <br /> for the use of unspent funds from prior years . The attached spending authorization resolution <br /> extends the authorization date for each project until the end of FY 2025 -2026 , allowing each <br /> project to use all previously allocated funding until the end of the fiscal year. <br /> Additionally , it was determined that the Lantern Project and Harm Reduction Coordinator project <br /> needed additional funds to cover personnel costs in FY 2025 -2026 . The amendment below <br /> allocates unspent funds from the NC FIT project to account for those additional costs . It also <br /> reallocates the difference in costs for the revised Freedom House contract that was approved by <br /> the Board at the October 21 , 2025 Business meeting , with the remainder falling to the unallocated <br /> project . <br /> The formal required resolution providing final opioid settlement fund spending authorization for <br /> FY 2026 is attached for Board approval . <br /> Budget Amendment #6 -A amends the grant project ordinance as follows : <br /> Opioid Settlement Fund ($0) - Fund #27 <br /> Revenues for this project : <br /> Current FY 2025 -26 FY 2025 -26 <br /> FY 2025-26 Amendment Revised <br /> Opioid Settlement Funds $4 , 654 , 294 $0 $4 , 654 , 294 <br /> Total Project Funding $4 , 654, 294 $ 0 $4,654, 294 <br /> Appropriated for this project : <br /> Current FY 2025-26 FY 2025 -26 <br /> FY 2025-26 Amendment Revised <br /> Lantern Project $ 5391714 $24 , 345 $ 564 , 059 <br /> Freedom House $ 322 , 485 ( $ 51577 ) $ 3161908 <br /> NC FIT $218 , 224 ( $491629 ) $ 168 , 595 <br /> County Vending Machines $ 931000 $ 0 $ 931000 <br /> SHAC Syringe Exchange Program $ 101 , 800 $ 0 $ 101 , 800 <br /> Reintegration Support Network $40 , 000 $0 $40 , 000 <br /> Post-Overdose Response Team $ 5821370 $ 0 $ 582 , 370 <br /> Grow Your World $201000 $ 0 $20 , 000 <br /> Harm Reduction Coordinator $218 , 886 $ 11 , 918 $230 , 804 <br /> CJRD Clinical Coordinator $ 1081191 $0 $ 1081191 <br /> Piedmont Health $ 501400 $0 $ 501400 <br /> El Futuro $ 50 , 000 $0 $ 50 , 000 <br /> Transition Support and Recovery $201000 $0 $20 , 000 <br /> Unallocated $2 , 289 , 224 $ 181943 $21308 , 167 <br /> Total Costs $4 ,6541294 $0 $4 , 654, 294 <br />
