Please also <br />explain how the program aligns with the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro's Human Services Program <br />Results Framework and/or Orange County's BOCC Goals and Priorities (250 words or less). <br />Under the umbrella of OHI, the Oxford House (OH) program strongly aligns with <br />all of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s and Orange Counties' priorities and goals by <br />continuing to fill the gaps in <br />the substance use disorder services continuum by establishing and maintaining <br />self-run, self-supported peer-operated recovery homes and providing supportive <br />services. <br />The OH model of care continues to provide quality recovery housing assistance <br />which provides opportunities for recovering citizens the ability to live together in <br />a disciplined environment tomaintain recovery without the return to use. <br />This level of care includes providing a safe and affordable, <br />drug-free living situation to recovering individuals with the support of other peers <br />in recovery, staff, and other supports and services in the community. <br />It is well established that individuals in active substance use face significant <br />health and safety risks as well as the individuals leaving treatment because of the <br />substantial risk of resuming a lifestyle that promotes a return to use with old <br />acquaintances and no support from the community. Peer Advocates will assist <br />individuals becoming self-sufficient by helping them acquire life skills in a <br />supportive peer environment. This effort assists Orange County in meeting its <br />mission to partner with the community in responding to public health, behavioral <br />health, and economic and social needs. To help meet this need, we will help <br />individuals seeking substance abuse services obtain residency in the County OH <br />and supportive access services in the County; OH would like to recruit 3 <br />addiitonal Peer Advocates. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 9ADEFAD5-C106-45CE-909F-ED02DFA16A16
