Other funding includes:

  1. Oregon City Metro Enhancement Grant for fentanyl awareness
  2. Oregon City Opioid Prevention Grant to address risk factors for youth substance misuse, with a focus on youth mental health
  3. SAMHSA – Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Strategic Prevention Framework grant to Increase Local Community Capacity to Address Youth Substance Misuse and Mental Health Challenges

The Oregon City School District serves as OCT’s fiscal agent, providing a generous in-kind contribution.
