By blending philanthropic donations, public grants, and private (sometimes concessionary) capital, Community Based Organizations (CBOs) can build a capital stack that enables program growth, retains mission fidelity, and aligns all parties around achievement of beneficial societal outcomes. In New Orleans, QV worked with partners to develop an innovative capital model to launch and sustain a Family Focused Recovery program.

Rates of substance use disorder (SUD) and drug overdose deaths have steadily climbed during the last decade. For women of childbearing age and their children, this epidemic has had especially damaging implications.

With a $5MM seed contribution from Humana, we are establishing the first-of-its-kind Family Focused Recovery (FFR) outcomes fund to sustainably scale an innovative Volunteers of America program model that serves mothers with substance use disorder and their children.
