The Lake Cumberland Area Development District recently received more than $277,000 in grant funding by the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission.
The district is headquartered in Russell Springs, and serves residents of Russell, Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, Taylor, and Wayne counties.
The district plans to use the grant funds to provide case management, training opportunities, work experience, and wrap-around services to individuals recovering and re-entering the workforce.
This will be done through partnerships with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, area vocational schools, Kentucky’s Re-Entry and Employment Services branch, and Putting Kentuckians First.
The district is one of 51 organizations across the Commonwealth to receive grant funding.
