Oakland County Harm Reduction Coordinator
Proposal to use LCSA Funding for position creation
9,20.21
Justification
In 2020 Oakland County Health Division was granted funding from MDHHS for Harm
Reduction services specifically related to prevention of Hepatitis C as part of the Hepatitis
elimination strategy for the state. Harm Reduction services include safe syringe exchange,
overdose prevention and the distribution of Narcan, testing and referral to care, referral to
substance use treatment services and more.
Staffing currently includes one Public Health Nurse and two Recovery Counselors paid
through the Harm Reduction grant, and a Resource Navigator paid from general funds that
contributes 50% of his time to this project. The project includes leasing an office space in
downtown Pontiac as well as use of the mobile vehicle for outreach,
Currently, the HIV coordinator is managing her HIV programs (PrEP, Data to Care, Link
Up Oakland, Adolescent Screening Program and HIV prevention) which all have their own
staff, budgets and reporting requirements in addition to the new Harm Reduction program.
The proposal is to create a Harm Reduction Coordinator to manage the new Harm
Reduction grant and the existing Hepatitis C grant (currently overseen by Communicable
Disease Chief). The workload for this position would include:
® Managing two grants: Harm Reduction and Hepatitis C
® Supervising 3.5 staff members: One PHN, two part time Recovery Counselors, one
Auxiliary Health Worker (AHW) through the Hepatitis C grant and one Resource
Navigator.
Overseeing the rental office space: Serve as main contact for all building -related
issues including cleaning, maintenance, security, etc.
Spearhead, organize or participate in community meetings; providing education
and building partnerships.
Opportunity for growth: Nurse Practitioners within PrEP program are currently
training to provide Hepatitis C treatment in OCHD clinics. This would provide an
additional revenue stream through 340b and billing, which would then be invested
back into the Harm Reduction program to increase services.
