Douglas County Community Service Board, doing business as One Community Health Solution, is a county government entity based in Douglasville, Georgia, that acts as a federal grant recipient addressing homelessness, substance use disorders, and behavioral health services in Douglas County.

Douglas County Community Service Board's federal footprint concentrates heavily on homelessness and substance abuse intervention. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds the majority of the organization's work through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), accounting for 20 awards across the source period. Recent CoC grants include a $666,415 project grant effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026, targeting domestic violence survivors experiencing homelessness through rapid rehousing and supportive services; a $148,498 grant effective March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027, supporting permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and Homeless Management Information Systems; and annual CoC awards running back to 2022 supporting housing acquisition, rehabilitation, rental assistance, and case management. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funds substance abuse screening and intervention work, including a $1.2 million Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) project grant awarded September 30, 2022, running through September 29, 2027, targeting up to 1,000 at-risk justice-involved youth and adults annually across three pilot screening sites for alcohol, opioid, and heroin abuse. The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded Douglas County Community Service Board a $1.2 million Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and other Substances Use Program (COSSUP) grant (October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2024) for a postbooking diversion pilot serving criminal justice-involved individuals with substance use disorders.

As a sub-recipient, Douglas County Community Service Board receives pass-through funding from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (the primary recent source) and the Georgia Housing & Finance Authority for behavioral health services, medication-assisted treatment and peer recovery support, and permanent supportive housing for homeless and at-risk populations. Recent sub-awards flow from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for a behavioral health deflection project (January 2025) and from state-level entities through fiscal years 2023–2025.

Activity has grown from three awards in 2022 to ten in 2024, with six awards in 2025 and one in 2026. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $21.7 million over the source period. The organization's capability portfolio centers on rapid rehousing, case management, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems implementation, substance abuse screening and brief intervention, medication-assisted treatment, peer recovery support, and behavioral health services delivery to low-income populations in Douglas County.
