BOSTON — The Healey-Driscoll Administration today announced $1.25 million in matching grants to 18 municipalities and community-based organizations in areas disproportionately impacted by the overdose crisis.
The latest round of funding is part of the Mosaic Opioid Recovery Partnership (Mosaic), an initiative designed to help cities and towns expand prevention, harm reduction, treatment and recovery efforts in ways that reflect the needs of their communities. Massachusetts is using statewide opioid settlement funds to support this work, ensuring resources reach communities most affected by the crisis.
“The Mosaic Municipal Matching Grant program emphasizes community, collaboration, and meeting individuals where they are,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kiame Mahaniah, MD. “By encouraging cities and towns to work together, pool resources, and prioritize the involvement of persons with lived and living experience, these grants are designed to support efforts and initiatives that are community-led and culturally responsive.”
The Mosaic program was developed in 2024 between the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s (DPH) Bureau of Substance Addiction Services and RIZE Massachusetts to increase access to funding for smaller community-based organizations and municipalities.
An initial round of one-year matching grants totaling nearly $1.5 million was awarded in 2025.
