Health board refers $190,000 Hope Haven peer-respite funding request to Administration Committee
Summary
The Douglas County Health and Human Services Board approved and referred a minimum $190,000 opioid‑settlement funding request for Hope Haven Peer Respite to the Administration Committee to support full‑time operations in 2026.
The Douglas County Health and Human Services Board voted May 14, 2026, to approve and refer to the Administration Committee a request for opioid‑settlement funds of a minimum of $190,000 to support Hope Haven Peer Respite’s full‑time operations in 2026. The motion to approve and refer was made by Alan Jaques and seconded by Dennis Cummings and carried unanimously.
Board materials recorded that Hope Haven is requesting at least $190,000 and that program participants meet the eligibility requirements for opioid‑settlement funds. The board did not take a final funding action at the meeting; referral sends the request to the Administration Committee for further review and any formal allocation decision.
Next steps: the Administration Committee will review the referral and staff recommendations before any final county appropriation is made.
