This item concerns the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners' review of appointments to the Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorders (BHSUCOD) Advisory Committee. The committee, established in 2022, consists of 18 members, including At-Large and Ex Officio members. The current agenda item seeks approval for several new and reappointed members, including individuals from Living Skills in the Schools, Inc., Drug Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County, Inc., Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network, Inc., and Palm Health Foundation. These appointments are currently under review by the Board. While this item does not describe a construction project, the organizations involved have recently received funding through Opioid Settlement Funds for various programs related to behavioral health and substance use. This funding may lead to future opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in program delivery and support. Businesses specializing in behavioral health services, program management, and related support services are encouraged to monitor future announcements from these organizations.
