The focus of this grant is to focus on increasing and expanding reentry service connection and effectiveness with underserved people groups within McDowell County. The grant also makes possible expanding reentry service capacity into Yancey County over the next three years. NO MCDOWELL COUNTY FUNDING WILL GO TOWARDS REENTRY SERVICES IN YANCEY COUNTY. The hope and overarching goal of expanding reentry services into Yancey County through this Federal grant and in Avery County through the Dogwood Health Trust grant received last year is to not only help justice involved individuals within these counties, who also float in and out of McDowell County, but to create a regional reentry capacity that will reduce recidivism locally and regionally and also create a greater capacity to leverage much more funding to address reentry in all three counties. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Through the Kate B. Reynolds and Dogwood Health Trust funding received for the purpose of serving as the fiscal agent in funding the McDowell Substance Use Task Force, Freedom Life has continued to serve with the Task Force to conduct and facilitate community research. This research centered around Opioid Settlement Funding recommendations as well as to create connections and capacities within the community to address immediate, short term, and long term needs associated with Substance Use Disorder within McDowell County. The Task Force has recently changed its name to the McDowell Partnership for Substance Awareness (MPSA) in order to better connect with individuals struggling with substance use disorder within McDowell County. The term ?Task Force? sounds like a police organization to these individuals. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Through partnership with MPSA, Freedom Life helped facilitate the first round of Opioid Settlement Funding recommendations to the McDowell County Board of Elections. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: In partnership with McDowell County Government, Freedom Life wrote and received a grant from Dogwood Health Trust that facilitated the capacity to purchase 9 acres along Highway 70 East for the purpose of building long-term transitional apartment housing that will continue to serve the stage two program housing needs of clients with a proved track record of engaging in new life capacity growth. Through this same partnership, Freedom Life/McDowell County also received a 5-million-dollar Community Development Block Grant to facilitate City of Marion utilities expansion to the purchased property along with facilitating property infrastructure and apartment housing development.
