Mount Clemens allocates $12,500 in opioid settlement funds to Face Addiction Now outreach
Summary
The commission approved allocating $12,500 of opioid-settlement funds to Face Addiction Now (FAN) to continue its Harmless street outreach program providing basic medical care and engagement with people experiencing homelessness and substance-use challenges downtown.
The Mount Clemens City Commission approved a $12,500 allocation from opioid settlement funds to Face Addiction Now (FAN) to support its Harmless street outreach program in downtown Mount Clemens.
City staff said FAN provides street-based outreach, including basic medical care and recovery coaching, that targets individuals experiencing homelessness and substance-use challenges. Administration recommended continued funding because the program has demonstrated effectiveness in the downtown area where need remains greatest.
Commissioners praised FAN’s record and said the amount is consistent with prior allocations; one commissioner said the organization’s presentations were “very inspiring.” After discussion, the commission voted to allocate the funds.
The allocation is intended to support FAN’s continued outreach presence downtown; staff and commissioners said they would consider whether additional funds might be available in the future but characterized this award as consistent with past support.
