Summary of objective implementation status

The Safety Net Collaborative has continued to meet to share relevant initiatives and impacts on the horizon and coordinate on next steps, for projects such as Opioid Settlement Funds, CARE  Court, and the BE Well initiatives, for example. 

The ACCESS system was renewed in August 2024 for another 3 years.  The addition of cohorts was put on hold pending confirming funding to support this program for another three years.  As staff time allows in the next year, the topic of cohort expansion and safety net collaborative needs will be discussed and considered for feasibility.
