Boston Opioid Settlements Project Director - Boston Public Health Commission
Description
The mission of the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) is to protect, preserve, and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, particularly the most vulnerable.
The BPHC envisions a thriving Boston where all residents live healthy, fulfilling lives free of racism, poverty, violence, and other systems of oppression.
The BPHC sets an expectation that all staff and leadership commit, individually and as part of the BPHC team, to hold ourselves accountable to establishing a culture of antiracism and advance racial equity and justice through each of our bureaus, programs, and offices.
PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTIONStates have reached settlements with opioid companies for their role in contributing to the opioid epidemic. The City of Boston will receive funds from the settlements through 2038.
The City currently holds $6M and is slated to receive $22M in total, but that number could be higher pending the resolution of additional settlements.
The State of Massachusetts has mandated that cities receiving these dollars should honor the voices of those impacted by the epidemic, prioritize equity, and fill gaps in the existing system.
Funds can only be spent on prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery services. Through summer 2023, BPHC conducted a public engagement process to gather input.The Project Director will play a pivotal role in overseeing the strategic and equitable disbursement of these funds in alignment with the City's health objectives and the public input.
Additionally, the role will also be responsible for coordinating reporting, evaluation, and any further public engagement. The State mandate around prioritizing equity aligns with BPHC'scommitment to equity and racial justice. Therefore, the Project Director will uphold these principles in all aspects of their work.
DUTIES
The Project Director will be responsible for development, implementation, evaluation, reporting, and ongoing assessment for the use of opioid settlement funds in Boston.
