On November 2021, OnPoint NYC opened the United States’ first Overdose Prevention Centers (OPCs) as a response to New York and the nation’s overdose epidemic. Since launching, the OPCs have saved countless lives and directed thousands of community members to vital services to improve the quality of their lives.
In our new baseline report, we document our first year of operations and the incredible impact in helping tackle the overdose crisis. The expansive report includes an overview of the wide-reaching services provided by OnPoint NYC, shares statistics and figures, highlights voices from the community, and more.
