OVRDC to coordinate recovery-to-work initiative with regional Community Action partners
Last week, the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) awarded more than $9.4 million to 30 projects through INvestments Supporting Partnerships In Recovery Ecosystems (INSPIRE), an initiative addressing Appalachia’s substance abuse crisis by creating or expanding a recovery ecosystem leading to workforce entry or re-entry.
The Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC) project to build a Southern Ohio Employer Resource Network (SOERN) was awarded $500,000 through the INSPIRE initiative. The grant award comes after a year-long recovery cohort learning academy project OVRDC facilitated, hosting regional recovery-to-work learning sessions with leaders from southern Ohio counties and other Appalachian regions.
