April 2, 2026 Human Services Committee Meeting

The Northampton County Human Services Committee meeting on April 2, 2026, focused primarily on updates related to the county's Drug and Alcohol Division programming, opioid trust fund initiatives, and the Greystale nursing facility. Key procurement-related discussions included the use of opioid settlement funds to support recovery centers and recovery housing projects, with contracts in place for transitional housing providers such as Victory House, Safe Harbor, and Third Street Alliance. The committee also reviewed operational data and budget considerations for Greystale, including staffing hours, agency spending, and grant-funded projects like dementia live training valued at $5,700. Additionally, the meeting highlighted ongoing collaborations with external providers for outpatient and mental health services, as well as the deployment of the RISE mobile outreach van to increase community access to addiction and recovery services. No new contract awards or RFPs were explicitly mentioned, but the discussion underscored the county's strategic use of grant and settlement funds to sustain and expand treatment and recovery infrastructure.
