Opioid settlement funds in action:

We are piloting a scholarship program through the LCCC Foundation for community members who are reeling from the wrongdoings of opioid manufacturers in the Commonwealth.

Our partners at Treatment Trends, LV Intake Unit, and Promise Neighborhoods of the LV have signed on to make referrals for the program. As this project grows, we'll be able to evaluate its impact on career readiness and quality of life for the scholarships recipients and make necessary adjustments in collaboration with our partners.

A new scholarship program will benefit Lehigh County residents who have experienced personal hardships and/or incarceration due to opioid use.
