St. Louis Opioid overdose reduction grassroots project: Fatal opioid involved overdoses among black men and women have increased in the city of St. Louis every year since at least 2019. In 2020, the St. Louis metropolitan area accounted for 82% of all fatal overdoses of Black people in the state of Missouri. Rates of Fentanyl involved deaths continue to be highest among Black males in St. Louis city. To address the ongoing increase in overdose fatalities the Missouri Department of Mental Health requested assistance at the local level to develop a strategy to reduce these deaths. DMH agreed to pilot a radically innovative inside/out approach to empower and build capacity of grassroots" based entities as viable partners. The identified primary investment strategy was based on the principle that the people who live in the neighborhoods/communities we hope to positively impact are the experts and recognizing the hard work that is occurring by both faith and non-faith groups in community, often with few resources and utilizing volunteers, and not sustained by contracts or grants.The Missouri Mental Health Foundation (MMHF) collaborates with the Behavioral Health Network (BHN) to provide the needed funding to support the grassroots organizations in their efforts. The grassroots organizations in St. Louis invoice BHN, and BHN invoices MMHF with their 5% administrative fee added. MMHF pays the invoice and then submits for reimbursement through the DMH-MMHF contract with a 5% administrative fee.
