Title, Resolve
Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and Appropriate $60,000 for a Maine Health Access Foundation
Healthy Communities Phase Three Implementation Grant
This Resolve will accept and appropriate $60,000 for the third year of Phase Three of the Healthy
Community Grants Program. The goal is to build on the community collaboration that occurred
during the first two phases of the MEHAF Healthy Communities program. During Phase One the
community identified substance use disorder as a significant issue. During Phase Two the community
created action steps to reduce stigma and to identify gaps in services and supports for people
affected by substance use disorder.
The implementation plan for Phase Three focuses on building successful, accessible and sustainable
recovery coaching in the Greater Bangor area. This goal was identified by people living with
substance use disorder and by professionals working in the field as a best practice for recovery and
as a gap in the current array of services available.
The City of Bangor, through its Department of Public Health and Community Services, will provide
staff support, coordination and technical assistance for the development of a recovery coaching
program housed at the Bangor Area Recovery Network. Phase Three began November 15, 2016 and
will end December 31, 2019 with total funding of $187,500.
The term of the third year is January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019 with funding of $60,000.
