Mayor Jon Mitchell announced $500,000 in grants to combat opioid misuse in New Bedford, supporting six local organizations selected through an open, competitive RFP process. These funds will advance projects aimed at reducing the lasting impacts of addiction across our community.

These grants are funded through the Greater New Bedford Opioid Task Force and the New Bedford Health Department, using resources from legal settlements with manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, and other companies whose actions contributed to the opioid epidemic.

At Steppingstone, this funding will support our FAIHR Youth Initiative (FYI)—a targeted, community-based program focused on reducing opioid overdose risk among transitional-age youth (ages 16–24) in New Bedford. FYI will engage young people through outreach, mentorship, and evidence-based Critical Time Intervention, connecting participants to treatment, housing, education, employment, and recovery supports through coordinated care and warm handoffs.

We’re grateful for the City of New Bedford’s continued investment in prevention, recovery, and youth-centered solutions that strengthen our community.

We wrapped up our final Culture Chat of the year with an impactful presentation from Katie, our Clinical Director of Outpatient Services, focused on Substance Use Disorder (SUD). 💬💙

In recognition of Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month, Katie explored the realities of treatment and recovery, the stigma often faced by individuals and their families, and how we can better support one another through healing—both systemically and on a personal level. These conversations help deepen understanding, reduce stigma, and strengthen the care we provide across our community.

Thank you, Katie, for sharing your insight and helping us close out the year with purpose and compassion.

We’re grateful to receive a grant from the Matouk Company Fund through the SouthCoast Community Foundation to support our Home Baskets for the Homeless initiative. 🏠💛

These baskets will provide individuals transitioning from our First Step Inn emergency shelter into permanent housing with essential household items—helping them start their new chapter with stability, dignity, and the basics needed to make a house feel like home.

From cookware and towels to toothbrushes and trash bins, each basket removes a critical barrier for those beginning independent living with limited resources. Thanks to this support, at least 10 individuals will have the tools they need to settle in, cook meals, care for themselves, and build a fresh start.

Thank you to the Matouk Company Fund and SouthCoast Community Foundation for helping us uplift our community during such a pivotal moment.

We’re grateful to share that Steppingstone Inc. has been awarded $485,388 from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities to operate this year’s Winter Overflow Shelter.

This funding will allow us to once again provide safe, seasonal overnight shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness within the Bristol County Continuum of Care. As winter demand continues to exceed existing shelter capacity, this project helps ensure that some of our most vulnerable neighbors have a warm, secure place to stay.

🗣 From Executive Director Kathy Clark:
“We are incredibly grateful to the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities for their generous grant, which allows us to provide additional winter shelter at motel units in Dartmouth for 40 homeless individuals at a time. With warm shelter, daily meals, and supportive case management, this funding ensures that those experiencing homelessness have the care and stability they need to get through the coldest months.”

From November 2025, through April 2026, Steppingstone will lease 20 motel units in Dartmouth—providing shelter for 40 individuals at a time and up to 100 individuals throughout the winter—while offering daily meals, transportation, and essential supportive services.

Through the strength of our partnerships and programs—including Project FAIHR, Catholic Charities, Mercy Meals & More, and the CSP-HI team—guests will receive not only shelter, but direct access to:
🏥 Health screenings & education
🏠 Housing search assistance
🤝 Case management & behavioral health support
💼 Employment readiness resources
💡 Financial literacy services

Together, we are working to prevent a return to homelessness and help individuals move toward stability, recovery, and long-term housing.

Thank you to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities for making this life-saving work possible.
