City of Fort Wayne Indiana news release:<\/p>\n

Mayor Tucker announces second round of recipients of opioid settlement funds<\/strong>
\nPeople-focused initiative is designed to enhance quality of life<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (March 19, 2026) \u2013 Mayor Sharon Tucker today announced the second round of recipients of opioid settlement funding to support organizations that help individuals and families overcome the impacts of opioid and substance addiction. The total investment is $471,761 in 12 non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n

This cycle\u2019s funded programs serve a diverse range of populations including pregnant and postpartum women, justice-involved adults and youth, veterans, immigrant and refugee communities, and individuals experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n

Last November, Mayor Tucker announced an investment of $1.002 million during the first round of funding that was given to 12 organizations.<\/p>\n

The City of Fort Wayne\u2019s opioid settlement payments are scheduled to run through 2038. In 2025, Mayor Tucker created the National Opioid Settlement Committee. The purpose of the committee is to recommend usage of the funds, convene individuals and groups to explore causes and responses to priority issues related to opioid and substance use, and educate the community about opioid and substance use.<\/p>\n

The National Opioid Settlement Committee oversaw the review of the proposals and made recommendations on which entities should receive resources. Focus areas continue to include prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm-reduction services.<\/p>\n

Recipients<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Amani Family Services – $21,761<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continuation and expansion of its Substance Use Support program providing culturally responsive prevention, treatment, and recovery services for immigrant and refugee residents of Allen County.

Healthier Moms and Babies – $50,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Funding will directly support emergency services for high-need families.<\/p>\n

The Shepherd’s House, Inc. – $40,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expanding its capacity to facilitate medication-assisted treatment and detox and withdrawal management services for male residents at its recovery housing facility. As the only veteran-focused and male recovery housing program in this grant cycle, Shepherd’s House fills a critical gap in Allen County’s recovery continuum.<\/p>\n

Victory House for Women, Inc. – $40,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur collective efforts are helping to provide hope and opportunity for individuals and families going through difficult situations. It\u2019s my sincere desire and commitment to make a lasting difference in the lives of others,\u201d said Mayor Tucker. \u201cI\u2019m appreciate of the National Opioid Settlement Committee and the excellent work they continue to do to serve our community well.\u201d<\/p>\n
