Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS), a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, is applying for the FY 23 Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Site-Based Program (COSSUP). Activities in this grant will support a combination of local initiatives and statewide programs and resources to reduce the impact of opioid, stimulant, and substance use on Ohio's individuals and communities.
This funding will focus on two primary efforts. First, it will increase connectivity to treatment and supportive services through community partnerships that develop, expand, or enhance Ohio's footprint of deflection, specifically the Naloxone Plus (i.e., QRT) model, Ohio's predominant deflection pathway. Second, it will build multi-sector collaboration that allows local deflection teams as well as communities that do not have deflection teams to more effectively and accurately identify people who are at risk and provide comprehensive support.
Funding will also be used to support a framework for providing consistent support and training to aid the efforts of local deflection programs, such that deflection programs become an indispensable and sustainable part of their community. Specifically, OCJS will provide project-based funding to support six to eight sites in Ohio to develop, expand, or proactively enhance local Quick Response Teams, identified through a grant application process designed to promote more equitable opportunity for communities to participate. OCJS will also fund a statewide law enforcement initiative, BRIDGE, to proactively alert healthcare professionals of the potential for overdoses in the wake of a large drug seizure.
In addition, BRIDGE saturation events will combine local law enforcement efforts with outreach provided by QRTs and/or prevention, treatment, and recovery services. Process and outcome evaluations will be woven throughout these local and state initiatives. The Substance Use Deflection Center of Excellence will promote the latest in research and best practices by offering training, technical assistance, and resources to support deflection in Ohio. The Center will expand membership of their long-standing collaboration board to serve as the multidisciplinary coordinating body to increase cooperation and collaboration across all sectors.
