City Summit 2026: Hosted by National League of Cities

Opioid settlement funds present an important opportunity for cities — but local leaders are at very different stages in understanding, planning for, and investing these resources. This session will ground participants in what city leaders need to know about opioid settlement funds and explore how communities are putting them to work to address substance use, strengthen behavioral health systems, and advance public safety. Learn from city leaders and subject matter experts about how communities are identifying needs, setting priorities, engaging partners, navigating implementation challenges, and making decisions that can support lasting impact. Whether you’re just learning about opioid settlement funds or already leading your city’s strategy, you’ll leave with practical guidance, examples from other cities, and opportunities to get your questions answered.
