Item/Subject RESOLVE - Accepting and Appropriating a Hommms Continuum of
Care Gmntfrom HUD—Acadia Recovery Community Bridge Program.
Responsible Department: Ca enunity & Economic Development
In July of 2005, the City submitted our annual request for funding for several homeless
programs under the HUD "Homeless Cormnuum of Care Super NOW (Notice Of Funding
Availability) for a total request of $1,066,741. This application induced 13 different program
requests. In December of 2005, all 13 projects were funded for a total of $1,059, 3n.
This Resolve addresses one of those 13 awards: a one year renewal of the edsting program
grant for the Acadia Recovery Community (ARC) "Bridge Program" for a total of $9,975. This
very successful program was originally funded in 1996 to consbua the ARC 10 -bed facility at
185 Indiana Avenue and to fund 75% of three years of operating and su pomlve services casts.
The Intense service coordination, combined with recovery support in the context of a therapeutic
community, has made this program a model for success with a very difficult population.
The attached Resolve will accept and appropriate the grant funds. No City matching funds are
required. Matching funds and additional funds in the amount of $180,149 are provided by
Acadia Healthcare, Inc. This grant Is administered by the Community and Economic
Development Department.
I recommend your approval.
