Delaware Opioid Impact Fee Fund — Listening Tour Survey

Delaware has about $6 million in the Opioid Impact Fee Fund to help our state recover from the opioid crisis. By law, this money must be used to prevent addiction, expand treatment, stop overdoses, and support families. Your voice will directly shape how this money is spent over the next few years. As someone affected by this crisis, you know best what help is needed most. Please take one minute to share your priorities with us through this brief, anonymous survey.
