Mayor Tucker announces third round of recipients of opioid settlement funds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (September 8, 2026) \u2013 Mayor Sharon Tucker today announced the third 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 $520,350 in 14 non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n

This cycle\u2019s funded programs serve a diverse range of populations including treatment and recovery, pregnant and postpartum women, education, harm reduction and co-occurring conditions, justice-involved youth, school-based prevention, and veterans.<\/p>\n
