City seeks opioid education and prevention provider

Bellevue is inviting proposals from organizations to deliver culturally and linguistically tailored opioid education and prevention services, with funding of up to $10,000 in 2026 and an option for four more years. Applications must be submitted by 2 p. m. on November 19, detailing how services will reach non-English-speaking populations. The selected agency will provide free educational resources and enhance collaboration between crisis response teams and community groups focused on opioid prevention.

This funding arises from settlements with opioid manufacturers and distributors, enabling cities like Bellevue to tackle the ongoing crisis. The King County Opioid Abatement Council oversees the fund's allocation to ensure effective use. Interested organizations can find application details on the Human Services Funding page or contact the Human Services team for assistance. Engaging diverse communities is crucial in combating the opioid epidemic effectively. This initiative reflects Bellevue's commitment to addressing the public health crisis with tailored, community-driven solutions.
