The City of Jacksonville is considering an appropriation of $499,576 from the Opioid Settlement Special Revenue Fund. This funding is planned for a direct contract with the University of Florida Board of Trustees to support the Thrive Together program. This program aims to provide community-based medication-assisted treatment for Opioid Use Disorder recovery. Services will include medication management, behavioral therapies, health education, and care navigation. The program is planned to operate from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with a goal to enroll 40 patients. This item is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. While this is a contract for services rather than a construction project, it may involve needs for administrative support, program supplies, and potentially specialized health services providers. Early engagement with the contracting parties could provide insight into specific needs as the program develops.
