39. Programs/grants for which this project would qualify We are actively researching various potential funding sources in Ohio and at the federal level that align with our project's objectives. Our investigations encompass programs like the Ohio Recovery Housing Fund and Recovery Housing Capital Fund, which can provide support for recovery housing initiatives. We are also looking into opportunities with the Department of Children and Youth to explore funding to bolster programs that aim to keep children with their parents. Furthermore, we are closely monitoring the release of grants from the OneOhio Recovery Foundation, funded by the opioid settlement, which could be a valuable resource.
Federally, we are looking into agencies such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for grants supporting recovery housing and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for funding related to opioid initiatives. Through rigorous research and staying updated on funding opportunities, we aim to identify the most suitable programs for our project.

Community Details

40. Community Need The Brigid's Path housing initiative responds to an urgent community need exacerbated by the overwhelming barriers moms face within multiple systems. In our community, these mothers encounter a daunting array of challenges, including a lack of resources, education, and support, particularly in the midst of the drug epidemic.
Women with substance use disorder confront severe obstacles, including a profound absence of safe and affordable housing options, often causing their babies to go into foster care. This project aims to be a vital solution, providing a nurturing environment crucial for the well-being of these mothers and their babies during a pivotal phase in their lives.
The housing initiative is designed to offer more than just shelter; it serves as a support network. It strives to bridge the gap, providing a safe space where women can unite, exchange experiences, and assist each other on their journey toward recovery.
Moreover, this project addresses another significant community need: the essential support for mothers to parent their children and, in doing so, to keep children out of foster care. By offering guidance, education, and resources, it seeks to empower mothers in their parenting journey, reinforcing family bonds and reducing the need for children to enter the foster care system.
By addressing these critical needs and barriers, the housing initiative aims to create a nurturing and stable environment that fosters recovery and encourages growth and empowerment for mothers and their babies during this transformative and vital time.
