GRANT EVALUATIONS
The Region 4 Opioid Council develops requests for proposals to address regional opioid priorities.
In 2022, the Region 4 Council contracted OMNI Institute (OMNI) to perform an assessment of the Region, utilizing secondary indicator data and primary data to better understand the opioid crisis in the region and the gaps in existing resources. It was determined that there are significant gaps in the availability of Opioid Use Disorder/Substance Use Disorder (OUD/SUD) treatment services in the region. Given the results of the assessment, the Council selected expanding treatment services, with a focus on increasing access through transportation services, as the primary focus of the next two years. Two sites were awarded funding through an RFP process– Centennial Mental Health Center (CMHC) and North Colorado Health Alliance (NCHA).
In April 2024, the Region 4 Council released a Treatment and Recovery RFP. Awardees will be announced in June 2024.
