BALTIMORE — Two local programs are in line for help in combatting the opioid crisis as part of $2.5 million in statewide funding for community and local programs.
Steve Schuh, executive director of the Maryland Opioid Operational Command Center, announced the awards on Thursday.
Brooke’s House, a sober living facility for women, will receive $250,000. Horizon Goodwill Industries’ Project Realize!, which mentors youth involved in the justice system, will get $80,922.
Schuh made the announcement during a news conference in Baltimore with Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford.
Rutherford also announced a new executive order to study mental and behavioral health in Maryland, with an emphasis on the relationship between mental illness and substance abuse.
“It’s going to take an all-hands-on-deck approach and every level of government working together to fight this epidemic and to save the lives of Marylanders,” Schuh said. “But, it’s here, at the local level, in communities, neighborhoods, and schools, where we are going to have the biggest impact. These additional tools, located in our communities, where they need it the most, will help us in our continued fight.”
