OD2A Substance Use Navigator

The Office of Recovery Services (ORS) at the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) is implementing the Boston OD2A Project and its contracts. Boston OD2A is comprised of multiple interventions; funding substance use navigators in community health centers, increasing naloxone distribution, expanding professional training, and boosting City data operations. The Project focuses on serving priority populations, people experiencing homelessness, Black and Latinx residents, and the re-entry population.

The BPHC OD2A grant seeks to award three Community Health Centers (CHC) in the City of Boston to employ one Substance Use Navigator each who will advance project goals, including its focus on priority populations. This funding is targeting health centers operating in Dorchester, Roxbury, South End, East Boston, and Mattapan. BPHC has selected these neighborhoods based on opioid overdose and demographics data, in alignment with the agency mission to protect and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, especially those impacted by racism and systemic inequities.
