Services within the grant will be targeted to the disproportionately impacted Native American community. DHS will reimburse Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health for costs to:

 

  • Provide 15 hours of weekly walk-in naloxone distribution hours within the Red Door Clinic.
  • Increase number of naloxone kits distributed through clinic-based programming.
  • Conduct targeted naloxone education and kit distribution to residents of Little Earth.
