Prosperity Path Project on the Rolling Engagement Van

Why Not Prosper’s Prosperity Path Project (PPP) will provide a targeted harm reduction component distributing naloxone, safer sex kits, hygiene kits and menstruation kits, wound care kits, and fentanyl test strips to BIPOC people who use drugs (PWUD) to their new Rolling Engagement Van (REV) – an innovative program that is part of Why Not Prosper’s continued commitment to serving BIPOC community members in their own communities with supportive services tailored to their needs. The goal of the REV is to link justice-involved people with supportive services in the communities where they live to

1. decrease technical violations of probation and parole,
2. connect them with bench warrants to resources to help them resolve their warrants and stabilize their lives, and
3. assist people with low-level crimes to resources and keep them out of the system by providing resources, legal support and benefit activation on the spot.

PPP will provide onsite, community-based HIV/HCV testing, case management services, workforce development, and referral to supportive services including but not limited to services for Hepatitis C, HIV, pregnancy, wound care, domestic violence, housing and housing stabilization, public benefits, and medications for opioid use disorder. Our outreach team consists of a Program Coordinator, Case Manager, and 2 Hard Reduction Specialists who will contribute to serving those targeted justice-involved people and other PWUD living in the communities to promote harm reduction practices.
