Moline proposes "Path Forward" program using opioid-settlement funds to pay vendors for recovery supports
Summary
City staff proposed "Path Forward," a case-management program that uses opioid-settlement funds to pay vendors for housing, transportation, childcare and job supports for Moline residents enrolled in certified recovery programs.
Moline officials described a new program, "Path Forward," that would use the city's opioid-settlement allocation to provide short-term, vendor-paid wraparound supports for Moline residents enrolled in certified recovery programs.
Chief of Police introduced the policy rationale: synthetic opioids such as fentanyl remain the primary driver of overdose deaths statewide, and local law enforcement has seized large quantities of drugs locally. After consulting public-health stakeholders and examining allowed uses for settlement funds, staff proposed directing one-time funds to residents who demonstrate financial need while participating in treatment programs.
