Description
Opioid Recovery Housing Advisor RFP Pre proposal meeting
A
Okay,
good
morning,
everyone
still
got
some
others
coming
in
that's
great
I'm,
Ron,
venturella
I'm,
the
procurement
manager
for
Buncombe
County
and
this
morning
we're
having
a
pre-proposal
meeting
for
the
request
for
proposals
for
the
opioid
recovery
housing
advisor
contract
with
me
this
morning
from
Buckingham
County
is
Victoria
whose
behavioral
health
manager
is
that
correct,
Victoria,
yeah
and
then
and
Kathleen
you're
in
strategy
and
Innovation.
Is
that
correct?
What's
your
position
title.
A
Okay:
okay,
what
let
me
close
this
transcript,
there's.
A
Drawing
my
attention
away
from
what
I
was
wanting
to
discuss,
so
what
I'll
I'll
just
go
over
some
housekeeping
things,
some
procurement
items
this
morning
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Victoria
and
Kathleen,
and
let
them
talk
about
the
scope
of
work
and
whatever
else
they
have
planned
to
discuss
and
then
I
I
guess.
Would
you
like
to
open
it
up
for
questions
at
that
time?
Yeah,
okay,
so
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about
the
schedule
of
the
RFP
for
a
few
minutes.
A
A
So
we
do
have
a
a
time
frame
or
deadline
for
questions,
and
so
the
deadline
for
questions
is
the
fifth
by
5
PM.
So
and
you
would
be
emailing
any
questions
after
today
to
me
and
and
then
I'll
condense
or
gather
all
those
questions
and
and
and
then
we'll
respond
to
all
those
questions
in
the
form
of
an
addendum
by
the
ninth
or
or
on
on
the
ninth
or
earlier,
depending
on
how
many
questions
we
have
and
how
long
it
takes
us
to
create
the
response.
A
And
then
the
deadline
for
your
proposals
or
submittals
will
be
December
20th
at
3,
P.M
and
we'll
be
accepting
those
electronically
by
email
and
those.
You
would
email
those
to
me
if
you
have
any
and
normally
what
I
do
once
I
receive
those
emails,
I'll
open
them
up,
be
sure
I
can
open
up
those
submittals
and
and
and
can
read
them
and
and
then
I'll
reply
with
an
email.
A
My
phone
number
is
in
the
in
the
RFP,
so
you
are
welcome
to
call
me
to
be
sure
you
know
if
I
haven't,
if
I
don't
have
time
to
respond
immediately,
you
can
call
and
ask
if
I've
received
your
proposal
and
then
we
hope
to
be
able
to
follow
the
last
part
of
the
schedule
there
about
being
able
to
to
review
an
award
and
then
have
a
contract
created.
A
C
A
A
Yeah
and
I
think
along
that
line
would
be
insurance,
so
there
there
is
Insurance
listed
in
the
RFP
of
what
we
normally
require
from
organizations
now
that
doesn't
not
every
organization
fits
into
that
Niche.
So
you
know
if
you're,
just
one
person
you're
not
going
to
have
workers
comp,
so
those
are
things
that
we
can
review
as
we're
negotiating
the
contract.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind
and
and
that's
really
it
of
what
we
would
require
a
long.
A
You
know
with
signing
and
agreeing
to
the
contract
that
we
would
require,
and
for
this
for
this
contract.
C
Awesome
and
again
like
today,
we
were
we're
hoping
to
share
a
little
bit.
You
know,
obviously
we
have
written
out,
but
just
to
one
further,
just
kind
of
share
what
we're
thinking
of
and
what
we're
hoping
to
maybe
see
and
also
just
to
get
questions,
and
maybe
any
you
know,
concerns
as
you're.
Looking
at
this
request
for
proposal
that
that
maybe
kind
of
like
makes
you
pause
so
that
we
can
even
kind
of
learn
how
our
folks,
responding
to
this.
Is
this
feasible?
What
you
know?
C
What
are
those
thoughts
so
again,
if
there's
any
questions
or
things
that
make
you
go
pause,
please
feel
free
to
ask
those
questions
and
I
I.
Think
the
you
know,
the
key
thing
is
as
Kathleen
and
I
have
been
reaching
out
to
the
community
talking
to
different
groups
and
folks,
we
know
that
housing
is
important.
C
I
know
one
of
our
medical
staff
with
mayheck
said
that
they
wish
they
could
just
write
a
prescription.
You
know
to
get
someone
into
housing,
because
we
know
that
it's
that
important
for
someone
to
to
maintain,
engage
in
treatment
and
to
have
a
safe
housing,
safe
shelter
to
live
in,
and
we
are
fortunate
that
we
do
have
there's
lots
of
options,
but
we
also
want
to
look
at.
How
can
we
make
this
Equitable?
C
Are
we
meeting
the
needs
of
those
that
are
seeking
out
those
services?
Are
there
potential
gaps
for
those
that
might
be
seeking
that
treatment?
C
We
want
to
also
make
sure
that
we're
getting
positive
outcomes
seeing
that
people
are
able
to
maintain
their
recovery,
get
connect
connected
to
the
right
services
on
whatever
that
they
need,
as
best
as
possible
to
to
maintain
that
progress,
and
so
again
wanting
someone
who
ideally
is
familiar
with
Western
North
Carolina.
C
It's
not
necessary,
but
that's
you
know
just
really
understanding
the
landscape,
the
history
and
being
able
to
really
look
at
what
do
we
have?
What
does
it
look
like
what
types
of
levels
of
care
do
we
have?
What
are
those
barriers
of
getting
into
recovery
housing?
C
You
know
there's
times
that
you
know
people
might
need
something
special
or
they
are
on
medications
for
opioid
use
disorder.
Is
there
enough
space?
Is
there
enough
availability
being
able
to
then
provide
recommendations
on
how
we
can
use
these
opioid
dollar
funds?
C
We
know
that
what
we're
hearing
is
that
just
creating
more
opportunity
to
pay
for
someone's,
maybe
cost
to
stay
in
housing
may
not
always
be
what's
needed.
I'm
sure
that's
going
to
be
a
piece
that
will
help,
but
what
creates
even
maybe
sustainability
that
long-term.
C
C
And
so
I
think
you
know
looking
at
what
you
are
thinking
of
how
you
might
go
about
doing
this.
Who
might
you
contact
what
are
some
tools
that
you
might
use
to
to
kind
of
put
those
things
together?
What
are
some
examples
of
potential
research?
So
what
are
some
best
practices
that
you're
familiar
with
that?
You
think
that
you
would
pull
from
again
just
for
us
to
get
a
sense
of
where
are
we
leaning
towards?
C
How
much
does
this
individual
know
to
be
able
to
follow
through
with
the
project
I'm
trying
to
think
of
what
else
and
I
think
it's
being
able
to
to
talk
to
people?
C
We
are
doing
some
surveys,
and
so
I
did
have
in
here
about
meeting
with
Kathleen
or
I
bi-weekly,
and
that
was
just
to
to
really
know
that
you
have
Partners
in
this,
that
we
can
help
share
information
that
we're
learning
that
we
can
help
make
contacts.
If
need
be,
that
we
can
also
kind
of
keep
informed
about
how
this
is
moving
forward.
C
Because
of
the
timeline,
we're
wanting
to
make
some
recommendations
to
the
Commissioners
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
and
so
I
think
being
able
to
kind
of
know
along
the
way
where
things
heading
towards
what
are
we
seeing
is
potentially
needed,
can
just
kind
of
help
us
be
informed
and
be
prepared
to
be
able
to
have
those
funds
available
so
again,
not
not
to
make
it
more
work
and
obviously
we
could
be
flexible.
C
B
I
think
all
I
would
say
instead
of
reiterate.
Your
key
points
is
that
I
think
it's
accurate
to
say
that
we
are
hoping
that
this
RFP
and
putting
funds
behind
somebody's
ability
to
spend
time
doing
this
work
will
produce
essentially,
in
short,
a
current
state
analysis
of
what
is
true
about
recovery
housing
resources
in
montgom
county
today,
as
well
as
a
set
of
recommendations
for
how.
If
opioid
settlement
funds
were
to
be
allocated
for
Recovery
housing
resources.
B
D
C
You
so
yeah
any
questions
or
that
come
to
mind
for
books.
A
C
E
Hey
y'all
thanks
so
I
heard,
y'all
say
a
couple
times:
individual
and
I
know
this
is
a
contract
to
hire
a
consultant,
but,
in
terms
of
you
know,
agencies
locally
that
might
be
able
to
onboard
the
consultant
I'm
assuming
they
could
apply
right
on
behalf
of
whoever
they
would
on
board
as
a
consultant.
Is
that
accurate
to
say.
C
A
Yeah
and
and
I
guess-
and
you
may
also
be
referring
to
what
we
would
consider
a
sub-
would
be
I.
Guess
if
they're,
not
an
employee
of
your
organization,
so
yeah
I
could
not
see
any
while
we
couldn't
allow
that
so.
Okay,
you
just
you
just
need,
be
sure.
You
point
that
out
in
your
proposal.
A
E
Then
my
only
other
question
is
with
that:
I
know
that
there's
supposed
to
be
a
short
short
contract,
but
I
can
imagine
for
anybody
other
than
maybe
a
single
person
applying
for
themselves
that
it
it
would
take
a
lot
longer
to
kind
of
not
only
onboard
somebody,
but
also
do
the
planning
right,
the
research
and
and,
like
you
said,
choose
the
the
research
methods
and
and
then
and
then
actually
get
out
getting
out
there
and
doing
the
work.
C
I
mean
we
have
some
flexibility
again,
you
know
was,
was
hoping
to
be
able
to
have
some
guidance
to
be
able
to
to
be
able
to
potentially
operationalize
funds
for
fiscal
year
24
to
26..
C
But
there
really
isn't
you
know
there
isn't
something
that
we're
like
it
just
has
to
be,
and
so
I'm
open.
You
know
to
proposals
that
are
kind
of
saying.
This
is
what
we
think
might
be
the
best
way
to
do
this
and
looking
at
that
time
frame,
and
even
you
know
the
cost
we
do
have
you
know
this.
The
15
000
is
what
we
had
initially
budgeted.
C
We
potentially
do
have
some
wiggle
room
with
what
we
already
had
approved
for
this
fiscal
year,
but
I
wouldn't
say
I
could
say,
maybe
another
five
thousand,
maybe
ten,
depending
like
on
what
that
time
and
the
and
the
depth
of
work
but
yeah,
but
and
that's
where
again,
I'm
interested,
that's
really
even
kind
of
like
a
budget
or
what
would
be
the
cost,
because
you
know
I
am
curious
of
like
what.
What
would
it
maybe
entail
of
doing
research
that
you
think
might
need
to
be
paid
for
to
get
you
know?
C
Sometimes
you
find
a
really
good
article
and
then
you
find
out
you
have
to
pay
for
it,
or
you
know
software
to
be
able
to
kind
of
really
enter
in
information
and
to
be
able
to
report
out
those
things,
so
that
was
kind
of
the
intention
of
what
the
cost
is
or
just
even
getting
a
sense
of
how
many
hours
and
and
what
would
that
hourly,
cost.
Look
like
I
think
when
we
were
kind
of
scoping
it
out.
A
C
C
We
have
the
funds,
but
then
every
year
we
have
to
report
to
the
state.
What
did
you
use
it
for
What's
the
progress
you
know?
What's
the
general
outcomes,
we
are
fortunate
because
we
have
less
than
three
percent
of
the
funds
only
our
highest.
C
C
So
that's
where
I
think
that's
what's
great
with
opioid
settlement,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
if
it
goes
past,
June,
30th,
but
again
we're
hoping
to
even
if
it
was,
we
have
a
preliminary
here's
one
phase
that
we
could
work
on
we're
needing
to
do
additional
work
for
that
next
phase
to
really
make
a
longer
term.
You
know,
plan
I,
you
know
and
Amy,
and
you
know
this
right
like
it's
one
of
those.
C
We
want
to
do
it
well,
but
we
also
know
need
something
needs
to
happen
sooner
than
later,
so
we
don't
want
to
wait
too
long,
but
also
want
to
do
it
well.
Yeah
thanks.
C
F
Hello,
I'm
Paul
moon
with
Atlanta
Sky,
Regional
Council
I've,
been
working
kind
of
in
the
background
on
this
issue.
I
work
on
some
housing
things
I'm
curious
to
know
what
role
other
funding
would
play
in
or
identifying
other
funding
opportunities
would
play
in
this
RFP.
Specifically,
you
know
the
Commerce
program
that
we
met
about
a
long
time
ago.
I
have
been
pestering
them
to
find
out
where.
F
F
C
A
great
question,
Paul
and
I
think
you
know
what
we've
been
saying
and
thinking
of
is
like.
Let's
dream
big,
what
do
we
want
our
community
to
look
like
and
I
know,
even
with
like
the
land
of
Sky
help
forum
and
with
Dogwood
there?
There
was
definitely
that
kind
of
like
let's
dream
big.
What
do
we
want,
because,
even
if
the
opioid
settlement
can't
do
it
all
there
may
be
other
opportunities
and
funding
so
I
guess
I'm,
not
maybe
necessary.
I
could
see
someone
being
able
to
be
like
man.
C
This
was
what
would
be
really
needed
right.
It
will
cost
several
million
dollars
to
really
implement
this,
but
maybe
that
then
here's
some
incremental
steps
that
we're
able
to
maybe
take
and
be
looking
for.
You
know
additional
funding,
so
I
think
that's
that's
a
good
point
right.
C
We
don't
want
to
be
narrowed
down
by
just
what
the
opioid
dollars
are,
because
there
could
be
other
grants
or
you
know,
other
funding
sources
that
that
may
support
those
efforts
and,
as
you
said,
I
mean
I,
think
even
the
state
you
know,
they're,
probably
going
to
have
some
more
grants
coming
available
from
the
opioid
settlement.
C
That
will
be,
you
know,
made
available
to
local
governments
or
private
entities,
so
I
think
looking
big
and
considering
what
other
you
know
if
we
had
other
fundings.
What
would
that
look
like?
What
could
we
do
with
that?
X
I
said.
Thank
you.
B
B
If
you
were
able
to
braid
this
percentage
of
opioid
settlement
funds
with
Source
a
b
and
c
here's
what
you
could
create
here's
what
we
could
do
with
that,
so
that
to
me
falls
under
that
scope
of
I
mean
it's
a
broad
request
for
somebody
to
make
recommendations.
But
that
sounds
like
precisely
the
type
of
insight
we're
hoping
this
position
will
bring
to
our
planning
table.
F
C
I
I
mean
we
hadn't
necessarily
defined
it,
but
I
think
that
would
be
something
that
would
be
helpful.
You
know
to
hear
and
what
what
someone
would
recommend
you
know
and
again
that's
something
that
Kathleen
and
I
are
willing
to
kind
of
work
with
that
person,
because
we're
constantly
hearing
about
new
programs
or
opportunities
and
we're
wanting
to
outreach
and
just
learn
more
so
that
we
can
keep
those.
C
What
are
those
options
right
in
mind
and
so
then,
even
if,
as
our
steering
committee,
we're
like
here's
some
elements
we
really
want,
then
we
can
be
like.
Oh
this
one,
and
this
one
had
these
elements
as
well
and
and
how
can
we
model?
How
did
they
go
about
that?
So
I
think
that's
great
questions.
Paul
I
love!
It.
C
And
don't
forget,
you
can
continue
to
send
Ron
questions
absolutely.
E
A
By
December
5th
be
sure
you
know,
I
would
I'd
recommend
reviewing
the
RFP
again
and
then
firing
off
any
what
any
additional
questions
you
may
have
for
us,
and
then
we
we
will
reply
to
all
of
them
in
the
form
of
addendum
and
in
that
addendum
will
be
sent
out
to
everybody.
That's
that
attended
today
or
has
posed
questions,
and
it
would
also
be
posted
on
the
procurement
page
of
Buncombe
County.
D
Hey
Kathleen,
hey
Victoria,
hey
Brian,
hi,
Stuart,
yeah,
I'm
curious
what
you
see
as
the
nature
of
the
partnership
in
the
bi-weekly
conversations
that
will
be
happening.
I.
Imagine
that
there
are
there's
this
a
set
of
skills
and
and
knowledge
that
you
all
have
and
would
just
like
to
understand
more
about
how
we
would
be
collaborating
as
I
think
about
our
proposal.
C
Yeah
I,
you
know
and
again
the
intention
was
to
one
to
know
that
there's
a
partner
in
this
just
because
we
we
have
been
talking
with
folks
or
there's
been
conversations
we
want
to
just
you
know
to
be
a
resource
to
say:
oh
and
here's
someone
else
or
we're
already
meeting
with
so,
and
so
you
know
jump
in
with
us
or
just
kind
of
keeping
informed
of
of
maybe
how
that
progress
is
going
again
like
kind
of
thinking
of
the
timeline
of
just
keeping,
you
know
hey,
where
are
we
leaning
towards
or
what's
coming
up
or
what
are
those
challenges
or
what's
information
that
again,
Kathleen
and
I
might
be
able
to
do
so?
C
You
know
work
that
we're
doing
and
so
again
and
we're
not
experts
in
recovery,
housing
and
to
really
dive
into
that
and
so
I.
You
know,
and
even
when
I
said
bi-weekly
meetings,
it
might
be
as
we're
Contracting
or
looking
at
proposals.
It
might
look
a
little
differently,
but
again
I
wanted
to
at
least
kind
of
Express.
C
We
want
to
kind
of
keep
informed
and
not
just
wait
till
the
end
at
three
months
and
then
find
out,
but
just
kind
of
work
together
to
make
it
the
best
possible
sharing
resources
and
and
looking
into
things,
if
need
be,
just
so
that
we
can
again
get
you
know,
figure
out
what
are
those
hurdles
and
how
can
we
work
through
those
and
just
again
be
partners
on
it,
not.
C
Person
who's
doing
it
would
be
doing
it
and
guiding
it,
but
that
we
would
just
kind
of
be
like
oh
yeah.
Let's
give
you
that
support
here's,
a
resource
or
those
kind
of
things
not
like
doing
for
or
telling
maybe
like
what
you
need
to
do.
You
got
to
do
it
like
this,
but
again
just
kind
of
being
collaborators.
B
Sorry,
I
would
just
add
and
bringing
in
as
Victoria
said,
you
know
we're
not
recovery,
housing
experts.
That's
why
we'd
be
bringing
this
person
on
board,
but
the
perspective
we
could
bring
is
information
from
the
opioid
settlement,
strategic
planning
process.
What
are
we
hearing
from
Community?
B
What
are
Quest,
what
are
gaps
in
our
own
research
that
we've
gathered
and
bringing
that
information
to
the
the
individual,
the
advisor,
whoever
is
awarded
the
the
RFP
to
say:
here's
what
we
know:
here's,
what
we're
hearing,
let's
work
together,
to
identify
those
gaps
and
have
that
guide.
B
Research
Focus
in
addition
to
whatever
Focus
the
the
person's
expertise
would
already
have,
has
direction
for
the
work.
D
Great
thanks,
I
have
one
more
question
for
y'all
I'm
curious
what
thoughts
you've
given
to
like
quantitative
analysis
and
what
data
availability
exists
like
what
data
sets
you
might
have
available
for
locally.
C
Yeah
I
think
the,
and
it
would
might
take
me
a
minute
to
to
find
it.
I
did
find
kind
of
in
preliminary
kind
of
just
looking
myself.
There
was
a
project
that
was
done.
C
Oh
and
you
know
you
can't
find
it
right
when
you
need
it,
but
I
want
to
say
it
was
starts.
I'll
have
to
look
for
a
minute
and
maybe
consent
it,
but
there
was
a
national
kind
of
study
looking
at
recovery
housing
and
they
used
Nar
the
National
Association
of
recovery
residences.
C
As
like
the
helping
identify
what
level
of
housing
they
were,
what
were
the
locations
of
the
housing,
so
they
did
map
out
for
each
state,
and
this
was
actually
done
pretty
recently.
It
was
like
in
2020,
2021
I
want
to
say.
Maybe
it
came
out
in
21.
C
and
so
I
feel
like
there
was
some
good.
You
know
global
view
of
what
kind
of
the
nationally.
What
does
recovery
housing
look
like
and
again
they
broke
it
down
into
North,
Carolina
and
even
just
looking
at
that
are
surrounding
counties.
Don't
have
recovery
houses,
I,
think
Transylvania,
maybe
had
one
and
again
at
that
time,
Orange
County
was
probably
the
largest
county
with
recovery
housing,
and
so
they
they
also
talked
about
like
the
perk
I
think
it
was
like
per
capita
like
what's
the
availability
per
capita,
but
also
looked
at
I.
C
Think
like
the
risks
of
Overdose
within
like
those
communities
or
those
counties.
So
again
it
was
kind
of
like
big
view
and
I
could
see
that
being
an
area
where
then
we're
able
to
kind
of
dive
in
really
specifically
to
Buncombe
County.
C
But
again
the
National
Association
for
Recovery
residences
has
been
something
that
really
sets
like
what
standards
are
and
levels
of
Housing
and
what
those
look
like
and
that
is
within
lots
of
different
states.
Even
North
Carolina
has
their
Association,
the
North
Carolina
Association
for
Recovery
residences
and
so
I
think
that
could
be
a
resource
to
kind
of
use
and
to
model
what
that
information
that
we
might
be
looking
at
and
Gathering,
but
I
also
left
the
request
for
proposal
open.
C
C
C
C
All
right:
well,
we
look
forward
for
any
other
questions
that
come
up
to
be
able
to
answer
those
and
then
look
forward
to
seeing
what
proposals
we
may
have
and
and
working
with,
whoever
is
able
feels
like
it's
a
promising
plan.
And
so
we
appreciate
you
all
hopping
on
and
and
joining
us
today
and
asking
questions.
A
Thank
you.
Everyone
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you
with
with
your
questions
and
seeing
your
proposals.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
