The agreement for this funding, and the Fund allocation, will <br />be presented to Council at a later date, upon receipt from the grantor. <br />Funds from the Opioid Settlement Fund (Fund 155) will support expenses until the AWC/HCA <br />grant is received and will cover expenses for the program under the current Professional Services <br />Agreement. <br />Project summary statement: <br />The Emergency Mobile Opioid Team in Everett (EMOTE) is intended to bring street level <br />treatment to Everett’s most vulnerable population. It will provide medicine, counseling, and peer <br />support to Everett residents who are unable or choose to not interact with traditional office- <br />based care. <br />EMOTE intends to increase the number of unhoused individuals who will receive addiction <br />treatment, increase health insurance uptakes, reduce crisis interventions (emergency transfers, <br />911 calls, arrests, etc.), provide an alternative municipal response to drug use, and enable <br />inpatient and outpatient treatment via telemedicine or transport. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize the Mayor to sign the PSA with Conquer Addiction PLLC.
