Seven community organizations across the five boroughs offering addiction recovery services will receive $12 million to fund rehab programs led by people who have dealt with substance abuse firsthand, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Thursday.
The money comes from a $7.4 billion settlement secured by Attorney General Letitia James earlier this year in a suit against opioid manufacturers Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, which Mamdani blamed for fueling the addiction crisis in New York City.
