Health Collaboration Program must address opioid abuse reduction. The City will use
funds to increase public safety and reduce recidivism among high risk people with
mental illness and co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse in the City, with the
coordination of behavioral health treatment agencies. The City's planning and
implementation must be approved by the Bureau of Justice Assistance to include one or
