Crcc recovery united project - through this funding opportunity, crcc will offer the recovery united project to support individuals, families, and recovery institutions and community-based organizations, including harm reduction organizations, in illinois impacted by SUD and COD in illinois. Crcc's recovery united project aims to: improve organizational/structural changes for 102 recovery-oriented institutions and community-based organizations in illinois' 102 counties over three years to enhance the long-term viability of RSS in illinois and develop linkages for RSS organizations to eliminate fragmentation, duplication of services, increased costs, and interruptions in care. Crcc will achieve this by working with five regional partners across the state who will be members of a recovery leadership steering committee (RLSC). The RLSC will work together to identify and recruit recovery-oriented institutions and community-based organizations in their area to participate in a statewide task force (TF). Through the task force, the RLSC will provide capacity-building support and technical assistance for TF members by providing trauma-informed culturally competent training to enhance the delivery of prss and system-wide workforce development to serve people of color more effectively, individuals involved in the justice system, returning veterans, etc.; providing support to plan and implement practical and innovative approaches in local service delivery; developing fundraising and donor strategies for prss costs that medicaid doesn't cover; and providing public relations and communications training to enhance awareness and communications about RSS services and gaps. The RLSC will work together to promote and educate about using prss in integrated primary care for 12 providers to meet illinois's demand for the peer workforce to grow and become more sustainable. Finally, crcc will also collaborate with LIVE4LALI, a statewide harm reduction organization, to support local and regional harm reduction community partner efforts related to RSS to improve statewide harm reduction collaboration and strategies.through this project, crcc will annually improve the capacity of and build linkages for 34 recovery institutions and community-based organizations across illinois; promote and educate about the use of prss in integrated primary care and within more recently developed community behavioral healthcare models for 12 providers; and collaborate with local and regional harm reduction community partner efforts to improve harm reduction strategies and better address the needs of individuals with OUD/SUD by expanding naloxone training to individuals and families with OUD/SUD (four per year), and providing capacity-building support and TA to harm reduction stakeholders through the task force.
