Cochise Harm Reduction received significant support in a recent grant cycle, securing $100,000 for the Cochise County Street Outreach Team. This funding, part of the Legacy Foundation’s Innovative Grant cycle, was the largest award among six nonprofit organizations selected from a competitive pool of applicants. The grant will enable Cochise Harm Reduction to expand its street outreach efforts, potentially enhancing its ability to provide vital services such as needle exchange, naloxone distribution, and HIV/Hepatitis C testing across the county. This substantial investment in harm reduction strategies underscores the growing recognition of their importance in addressing the opioid crisis and related public health issues in Cochise County.
