Item #7: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Moore to approve the process of reapplying for the Opioid Abatement Grant with the Attorney General for the following entities: Youth Services Creek County, Life Gate Freedom Recovery Ministries, Human Skills and Resources, CREOKS, and Family and Children's Services. Ashley Ridge, CREOKS spoke to the Board updating the progress of the five entities. We have received the second quarter of funding and were approved for $300,000.00. We have three to five years to utilize the funding. This has been a joint collaboration between the entities and the county. Human Skills and Resources has been able to hire a RN, to assist with Opioid medication for those in recovery for twenty to twenty-two individuals. This nurse is able to be available part-time. Life Gate has been able to provide twenty-five to twenty-six scholarships for individuals who have entered their program. This assists with housing, food, and sobriety education. CREOKS has hired myself part-time to be the project manager of the grant and has been able to provide housing assistance to those at risk of losing housing for helping maintain housing. We will continue to assist in offering this service., Youth Services has faced some barriers with curriculum and training to help combat the use of opioid's during pregnancy. They are hoping to kick this off late spring. Stephens asked when the next submission period is, Ridge stated we are supposed to present to the AG Opioid Board on March 27, 2025 and I think the opening of the application process will be after April 01. Nick McMillon, Family Children's Services has implemented a jail-based program with the collaboration of the Sheriff's Office to assist with GED testing. We currently have a multi-purpose room and will hopefully have a dedicated classroom soon. We actually start classes today, for our program. We will continue to ask for the funding for this program. The AG has ratified the strategies of use in the guidelines to offer family skill services and more GED services. We originally requested $800,000.00 for funding and will ask for additional funding with this application in efforts to make an even bigger impact in our community. There is still a lot of money out there to receive. Ridge stated that Creek County is in the top five for opioid hospitalizations and the use of opioids has increased 1300%. Ridge explained her duties in assisting with the reporting and if we are approved for the continuation of the grant that would require two separate reporting's to be done. With the new application CREOKS would ask for me to be full-time and continue with housing assistance and offer UA testing for individuals. Human Skills and Resources would with nursing and medication for those in recovery. Youth Services would like to add educate the youth on opioid use. Life Gate would continue with housing scholarships for their recovery program.
