H. Expanding Syringe

Opioid Abatement Funding Advisory Board · 2026-06-08 · agenda_item

This item concerns the expansion of syringe service programs and recovery support services. These services aim to promote recovery through access to housing, healthcare, employment, job training, and peer support. The Opioid Abatement Funding Advisory Board in Escambia County is reviewing this initiative. While no specific project details like size or location are provided, the focus is on expanding existing or creating new programs. This expansion would likely involve securing facilities, coordinating services, and potentially hiring staff for program delivery. Local businesses in fields such as healthcare services, social services, administrative support, and potentially construction or renovation if new facilities are needed, could find opportunities. Engaging with the advisory board early in this review process may provide insight into future needs and potential involvement.
