Ordinance amending the Administrative Code to authorize the Human Services Agency, in coordination with the Department of Public Health, to establish a voluntary three-year sobriety and recovery incentive treatment program, known as “Cash Not Drugs,” to provide a weekly payment of up to $100 to eligible beneficiaries of the County Adult Assistance Programs (“CAAP”) who have been screened for a substance use disorder and referred to substance use disorder treatment as a condition of further receipt of CAAP benefits, and who test negative for illicit drugs once per week; exempting the Cash Not Drugs payments from the CAAP eligibility calculation; providing for a six-month implementation plan before the program becomes operational; and revising the Homelessness and Supportive Housing Fund to include the Cash Not Drugs program as a permitted use of funds.
