Washington County presented capital project details for new transitional housing and recovery services, including project scale and funding sources.

"We did a purchase this last summer of a pretty large hotel in Central Washington County. That will be up to 80 recovery focused transitional housing beds," Michael McLeod, strategic project specialist, said. He stated the project was funded with "up to 26,000,000 in SHS capital dollars plus ongoing operational dollars" and that the county was able to "leverage healthcare resources up to 2,500,000.0" and will use Medicaid funding where possible. McLeod said the Cornell Road Recovery project is in final construction design and budgeting stages with a target opening in fall 2026.

McLeod also outlined a separate stabilization‑focused project in Hillsborough to be owned and operated by Transcending Hope with up to 36 stabilization beds and a planned opening in 2027. Both projects were described as receiving SHS capital and ongoing operational funds.

County staff said project schedules remain subject to final design, permitting and budgeting steps and that they will provide updates as procurement and construction progress.
