Council awards $272,075 in opioid settlement grants to local nonprofits
Summary
Kingman approved five awards from opioid settlement funds to local nonprofits and service providers to support treatment, transportation and prevention activities.
Kingman City Council approved awards totaling $272,075 from opioid settlement monies to five local organizations on Oct. 21.
Staff said the city issued a formal solicitation July 1 and received six proposals; five met grant criteria and were evaluated by a five‑member committee. The council approved the recommended awards and staff said the funding is drawn from opioid settlement receipts and not the city’s general fund.
The awards as read by staff are: Revive Behavioral Health, $100,000; Cornerstone Mission Project, $97,075; Hope Lives/La Esperanza, $25,000; Terrace Health (listed as Taos/Taro’s in meeting backup), $25,000; and M‑STEP, $25,000. Staff said the total fiscal impact to the opioid settlement monies fund is $272,075 over a two‑year period.
Representatives from the funded organizations described proposed uses: Revive Behavioral Health said funds would support Kingman residents’ access to residential recovery services and to extend unbillable service days when needed; Cornerstone Mission Project described a “Justice Opportunity Empowerment and You” program to support people impacted by opioids; Terrace Health said funds would support mobile crisis and intensive outpatient links to longer‑term care and transportation assistance; M‑STEP described youth prevention and distribution of medication‑locking devices; Hope Lives proposed to purchase a used van to provide unbillable transportation capacity for justice‑involved individuals (staff read a program excerpt on behalf of Hope Lives). Council approved the awards by voice vote.
