Hope Alliance NWI: Bridge to Hope

This grant funds a one‑year “Bridge to Hope: Harm Reduction in Action” program in Lake County, Indiana. The project delivers overdose‑prevention, infectious‑disease education, and maternal‑child health outreach through mobile street‑level activities, using certified community health workers and peer recovery coaches. Funding of $200 k supports staff salaries, outreach workers, harm‑reduction supplies, equipment, travel, and communications. The grantee must submit monthly performance reports covering key metrics such as naloxone distribution, education sessions, and service referrals. Payments are made in five milestone installments tied to contract signing and quarterly progress. Early termination requires 90‑day notice, and renewal is discretionary based on funding availability and performance.
