SUD & employment support program - the centers for families and children (d/b/a "the centers") will provide treatment, recovery, and workforce support services to cuyahoga county residents with substance use disorder (SUD) or CO-occurring disorder (COD), with a focus on populations that have historically had limited access to quality healthcare services and that have been most impacted by poverty and unemployment. These populations include african american, latinx, those with limited english proficiency, and immigrant populations. As a collaborative effort between our SUD, supported employment, and EL barrio workforce development staff, the SUD & employment support program team will provide SUD treatment and recovery services, workforce development, job training, and individual placement supported/supported employment to help clients obtain sustaining employment. The centers, in collaboration with community stakeholders, proposes to serve 1,125 individuals over five years (125 in year one; 175 in year two; 225 in year three; 275 in year four; and 325 in year five). Through the SUD & employment support program, our goal is to provide treatment and recovery services, job readiness skills, employment coaching, and supportive services to these individuals. Objectives to meet this goal include: - 70% of SUD and COD clients will be linked to the SUD & employment support program within year one of the start of the grant. - at least 10 clients will be trained in EL barrio's peer support track within year one of the start of the grant. - ensure 50% of program clients show job retention 30 days from obtaining employment. - obtain 260 job development contact opportunities within year one of the start of the grant. - 75% of program staff will be retained in the SUD & employment support program within year one of the start of the grant.
