Our program would like to explain how your Program should be obtaining Naloxone. Please note that our instructions outline 4 types of programs.

1: DHS Contracted Programs (excluding LAHSA and HFH)

2: LAHSA Contracted Programs

3: HFH Contracted Programs

4: non DHS-contracted Programs

How to obtain your program’s allotment of naloxone after receiving your certificate for distribution:

For DHS-contracted programs (LAHSA see below):

Email OEND@chpla.org to request a supply of naloxone. Please include:

1. Program name

2. Program type (field-based outreach, permanent or interim housing, etc.)

3. Department of DHS through which you are contracted

4. Number of staff & program participants to which you anticipate supplying with naloxone over a 2-month period.

For LAHSA contracted programs: Please contact the LAHSA warehouse point person to pick up naloxone directly from the LAHSA warehouse. Peter Motta: pmotta@lahsa.org

For HFH contracted programs: Here are the contacts for HFH sites:

Permanent Suport Housing: Aubre Martinez amartinez@dhs.lacounty.gov

Interim Housing: Yancy Martinez ymartinez5@dhs.lacounty.gov

If your program is not DHS-contracted or is increasing your naloxone output or would like to receive more naloxone than DHS-OEND can provide, you can apply for a larger allotment through the California DHCS Naloxone Distribution Project.
