Background and Discussion:

The Behavioral Health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been profound. Harris County residents have

experienced an increase in stress, mental health crises, substance use-related deaths, suicides, and more. Harris County

approved eleven Behavioral Health awards funded through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). These programs

invest in programs in the following categories:

 

• Behavioral health workforce programs

• Counseling for youth & families

• Substance use disorder treatment

 

Santa Maria Hostel, Inc., was awarded funding for the Behavioral Health Overdose Prevention Program.  They will provide access to medication-assisted treatment, peer recovery support, and create an integrated care clinic for individuals impacted by substance use disorders.  

 

Expected Impact:

Santa Maria Hostel, Inc., will be able to continue service provision allowing additional time to complete deliverables and fully expend funds. 

 

Alternative Options:

If the amendment is not approved, services will end on October 24, 2024. 

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

x_ Public Health

_ Transportation
