The FY2026 report certifies 643,214.13 spent from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026 on Recovery Supports, with 28 participants served, on page 5. Recovery Supports is the program the County certified in FY2024 and FY2025 for sober living checks. In the FY2026 window the opioid account paid West Jersey Title Agency 604,970.41 for three properties in Pilesgrove. Deposits of 5,000.00 for 8 Chapel Street and 5,000.00 for 24 Church Street on 12/30/2025, checks Ck125737 and Ck125738. Closings of 494,215.91 for 24 Church Street and 55,754.50 for 8 Chapel Street on 02/19/2026, checks Ck126307 and Ck126308. 45,000.00 for Green Street, Block 53 Lot 4, on 03/12/2026, check Ck126446. It also paid the Cumberland County Improvement Authority 27,461.10 described as senior center reimbursements and professional services, less a 7,732.00 credit, 19,729.10 net. The report's other three program figures total 48,491.60, too small to hold the closings. The property and senior center payments are 624,699.51 of the 643,214.13. Resolution 2026-044 authorizes the Church Street and Chapel Street purchases for a senior citizen center and office space for County government. It says opioid settlement funds and a federal grant mean no additional costs to county taxpayers. The report's indicator text says the building purchase was in part funded by the fund as the County moves toward a community clinic. No clinic or recovery service in the building is documented. Exhibit E lists recovery housing, peer recovery centers and crisis stabilization. A senior center and County offices are not among the uses it lists.
