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
Houston Recovery Center was awarded funding for the Behavioral Health Overdose Prevention Program to provide substance use disorder services, including naloxone distribution and overdose prevention to residents of the County, as well as workforce development for RSS staff.
Expected Impact:
Houston Recovery Center 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
