Board schedules opioid settlement work session; discusses step‑down housing plan
Summary
The board agreed to hold a work session on opioid settlement funds in early–mid June and heard preliminary discussion of a step‑down housing model using anticipated Medicaid revenue, with Director Manfron slated to present details at the work session.
Yamhill County commissioners agreed to schedule a work session on opioid settlement funds in the first half of June (the board discussed June 11 or June 18 as options) and asked Director Manfron to prepare materials and attend. Commissioners said the session will allow staff and stakeholders (including the sheriff and local Alcohol and Drug Planning Commission members) to outline how settlement dollars will be used.
Commissioner King summarized a proposal for a step‑down housing model—intended as transitional housing for people stepping down from more intensive care rather than a shelter—where anticipated Medicaid revenue would be used to support operations. "We do have oversight over the opioid settlement money," the commissioner said, and asked staff to bring specifics on level of care and operating model to the work session. Director Manfron was asked to present options including whether to contract out or operate in‑house and to clarify funding and oversight arrangements.
