Committee backs $190,000 opioid-settlement request for Hope Haven peer respite
Summary
The committee approved referral of a Health and Human Services Board request to allocate a minimum of $190,000 from the Opioid Settlement Fund to support Hope Haven Peer Respite, a peer-based recovery program; the referral will go to the full County Board.
The Douglas County Administration Committee on June 4 voted to approve and refer a Health and Human Services Board request to allocate a minimum of $190,000 from the county’s Opioid Settlement Fund to support Hope Haven’s Peer Respite program. The program provides peer-based support and a recovery-focused environment for people experiencing mental health or substance use challenges.
Committee member Kelly Peterson moved the resolution and Bill Fennessey seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The minutes describe the request as a "Minimum of $190,000" but do not specify a final contract length, timeline for disbursement, or performance metrics; those details will be determined if and when the County Board acts on the referral.
