Implementation Plans
FY 2023-2024 Plan
The implementation plan for Lee County’s allocation of opioid settlement funds from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, outlines the distribution and utilization of funds in accordance with the requirements of Schedules A and B of the opioid settlement. The plan details funding allocations to various programs, including Kimmie’s Recovery Zone and Centerstone’s WISH project, which aim to support individuals and families affected by substance use through a range of services such as harm reduction, outreach, prevention, education, and recovery services.
The plan also includes funding for Lee County Human and Veteran Services to provide oversight and ensure programs effectively address opioid-related challenges. Kimmie’s Recovery Zone is allocated $280,599 to offer services like food distribution, Narcan, clothing, peer support, and community referrals, along with conducting weekly group sessions and community outreach for overdose prevention. Centerstone’s WISH project, with a funding of $1,906,565, focuses on a comprehensive continuum of care for individuals affected by substance use, including harm reduction, evidence-based treatment, and recovery services, aiming to engage and empower adults and youth at risk of drug use.
The plan specifies funding under Schedule A for core strategies such as Naloxone distribution and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and under Schedule B for approved uses including leadership, planning, coordinating, supporting people in treatment and recovery, and preventing overdose deaths. Additionally, it outlines the spending plan with a total funding distribution of $2,298,948, divided between Schedule A and B allocations and administrative and indirect costs. Monitoring and evaluation processes are established to ensure the effectiveness of funded programs, requiring Kimmie’s Recovery Zone and Centerstone to report program data monthly and quarterly to the Public Safety Coordinating Council. Annual contract monitoring will also be conducted to ensure compliance and performance, with the possibility of contract renewal for both programs based on their achievement of contractual goals.
This summary captures the key components of the implementation plan, including the focus areas, funding allocations, and the structured approach towards monitoring and evaluation to ensure the effective use of opioid settlement funds in addressing the opioid crisis in Lee County. The justification for this summarization lies in its comprehensive coverage of the plan’s objectives, funding details, program descriptions, and oversight mechanisms, providing a clear overview of the county’s strategy to combat opioid-related issues.
