FairvEew Housing (Fairview) currently operates Bristol Lifestyle Recovery (BLR), an 80-bed facility in
Bristol, and Mended Women Lifestyle Recovery (MWLR), a 62-bed facility in Abingdon. Both facilities
operate as state licensed, MedicaEd-funded, iow intensity residential treatment services. Fairview also
provides intensive outpatient services to many of our residents while living in our facilities.
Fairview provides treatment services primarily for the 13 southwestern counties of Virginia. Fairview's
records show that it has provided long-term SUD recovery services to many Wise County residents

(at least 50 as of the date of this letter). This translates to a $900,000 financial benefit to Wise County
citizens.

While we have served hundreds of Southwest Virginia residents with inpatient treatment and foilowup care, we do not offer a detox service. To address that issue, Fairview is in the process of raising
$250,000 for a women's detox addition to Mended Women Lifestyle Recovery in Abingdon. In
support of that effort, Fairview is requesting between $90,000 to $150.000 from Wise County's direct
payment opioid abatement funds. We are also requesting opioid abatement funds from other cities

and counties in the region to meet the balance of that goal. The Virginia Opioid Abatement Authority
has helped Fairview identify available direct payment funding from Southwest Virginia cities and
counties, Including Wise County.

Specifically, the $250,000 in funding will be used for building modifications and startup staffing
requirements for the detox addition. The $90,000 to $150,000 requested from Wise County will go
towards completion of the building modifications and staffing requirements. The building
modifications are the remaining critica! requirement for Fairview to receive the state license for high

Intensity services which will allow for sustainable Medicaid billing of the provided services. The
clinical detox high intensity services have the potential to provide $1,720,000 in annual services to
the region, funded by Medicaid.
The continuum of care for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment includes detox, inpatient
residential treatment and outpatient folfow-up care and referrals. Many providers across Virginia have
added full SUD continuums of care within their organizations. With the addition of detox services, our
treatment facility can give the full continuum of care to Wise County residents. With the addition of
detox, our professional staff could more appropriately monitor and assist with a person's progress in
recovery. Without this service, a person may receive detox services in another facility and then be
discharged without receiving the long-term treatment they most always need. By providing detox
services, we can keep people fully engaged within our organization and/or community without
dangerous transfers and broken connections. Our hope is to keep Southwest Virginia residents in our

region so they are connected to the strength of their support system, closer to their hometowns.
By adding clinical detox services at MWLR, women seeking treatment will receive the full continuum of
uninterrupted services at one facility with the support of our communities. This will allow current SW

regional organizations to refer directly to MWLR without the difficulties that exist in sending people out
of the region. The additional services will include detoxiflcation, peer recovery services, and enhanced
medication management. There is a critical need for these ieveis of service in Southwest Virginia. At
present, Fairview applicants needing detox are typically referred to other parts of the state or to East
Tennessee facilities, in these environments, people of Southwest Virginia often face great difficulty and
develop disconnects from the family and social supports that are synonymous with our region and
culture.

Currently, those who attempt to seek Fairview care for 7-to-28-day detox are sent elsewhere for such
care. Most do not come back to Fairvjew for extended treatment. Many of these same individuals
often later resurface in our communities' emergency services systems. This drastically reduces the
person's opportunity for necessary tong-term treatment, family healing, and local connection, thereby
impacting long-term recovery. Additionally, it significantiy reduces the number of women Fairview can
serve. This, En return, negatively affects financial operations.
In 2025 alone, over 43 women who were ready for change have contacted MWLR seeking immediate care
who have needed the higher level of care services. Even with assistance of these 43 women, only nine

successfully navigated the existing barriers and found their way to their original intended destination of
MWLR. That translates to only 20% that made it back to longer-term recovery.
Mended Women Lifestyfe Recovery is the only known women's low intensity residential addiction
recovery center in Southwest Virginia. Without the ciinical detox high intensity services, MWLR could
cease to exist, leaving a huge gap in women's recovery services. The lost revenue of those 43 women
mentioned above seeking detoxification in 2025 was $481,600. The totai annual revenue potential for the
12 clinical detoxbeds is $1,752,000, funded by Medicaid for the region.
Fairview also plans to provide detox services for men. In eariy 2026, Fain/iew is contracted to open and

operate a facility in Marion for men, composed of 22 beds for high intensity and 36 beds for low intensity
residential treatment Smyth County assisted Fairview in receiving $825,000 in Cooperative Partnership
Opioid funds for program implementation and working capita! during the first year of operation. With 12
high intensity beds in Abingdon for women and 22 high intensity beds in Marion for men, the critical
elements of the regional continuum of care for SUD treatment will be addressed.
The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services and the Virginia Opioid

Abatement Authority have indicated their support of this request to ensure that ali critically mentioned
SUD services remain in Southwest Virginia.
We appreciate your consideration of this important request and look forward to continuing to work with
you as we address the epidemic of substance abuse in our region.
Respectfully,

Robert Garrett

FAIRVIEW HOUSING MANAGEMENT
CORPORATION (FAIRVIEW)
Founded in 1970 in Tazewell, Virginia, Fairview is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses
a housing first model to help individuals recover from life-altering challenges, with a primary
focus on substance use disorder (SUD). Fairview has a core focus on 13 counties and 3 cities in
Southwest Virginia, and 8 counties in Northeast Tennessee.
Fairview adheres to all state and federal housing regulations and prioritizes vulnerable
populations through accessible, inclusive programs. Services Integrate outreach, workforce

development, and wraparound care funded by Medlcaid, HUD, state and local grants, health
departments, corrections agencies, opioid abatement funds, and private contributions.

Two years ago, I visited what was then just the

future site of the Appalachian Center for Hope
in Marion, Today, thanks to the dedication of so
many partners, that vision is becoming a reality.

This facility is funded through a partnership
of the Virginia General Assembly, the Smyth County
Community Foundation, federal support, and the Virginia
Opi'oid Abatement Authority. The OAA grant application
brought together multiple jurisdictions, underscoring just
how important this project is for the entire region.
Run by Fairview Housing—the same trusted agency behind Bristol
Lifestyle Recover/ and the Mended Women Treatment Center— the
Appalachian Center for Hope will provide a much-needed detox

facility for men. It will deliver a higher level of care for those who
are still actively using and in need of immediate services, filling
a critical gap in treatment options for Southwest Virginia.
J am so proud of all of the efforts put into this center and
all of the care shown for fellow community members.
Recovery is possible for every Virginian.

Experienced and Major Contributor to Reducing Homelessness
Fairview provides a wide range of housing and supportive services, including:
• Homeless Prevention: Rental, mortgage, and utility assistance with case management.

• Rapid Rehousing: Rental subsidies, deposits, and housing navigation.
• Crisis Intervention: Emergency shelter, food, transportation, and urgent support.
Meeting Urgent Needs
Fairview's research and statewide collaboration reveal a growing demand for detox services, wraparound support, and transitional housing. Abingdon and Marion already have

infrastructure to provide detox care, allowing funds to go directly to urgent services rather
than new construction while plans for creating infrastructure and community support are
being built in Tazewell County, with hopes of similar projects to emerge in surrounding
counties. The Abingdon facility will need approximately $165,000 in renovations to meet
State licensing requirements.
Community Benefits to Supporting Detox Services Across SWVA:
• Residents can access detox care locally by contributing to regional
beds, as current beds are few, preventing individuals from traveling
across the state or forced out of state for detox services.

• Those seeking immediate help are able to be protected from harm in a structured
environment prior to continuing care in lower intensity local settings.
• While in Fairview programs - receiving wraparound services such as legal aid, mental

health care, workforce development, job preparation, and peer support - developed
in their home counties to ensure successful reintegration post residential care.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF WISE COUNTY,

VIRGINIA CONSENTING TO THE ISSUANCE OF A WATER AND SEWER
REVENUE BOND BY THE WISE COUNTY PUBLIC SERVICE
AUTHORITY AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A SUPPORT
AGREEMENT PROVIDING FOR WISE COUNTY'S MORAL OBLIGATION

TO MAKE CERTAIN APPROPmATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE BOND

The Wise County Public Service Authority (the "Authority") proposes to issue its $570,809
Water and Sewer Revenue Bond, Series 2026 (the "Bond") to the Virginia Resources Authority, as
Administrator of the Virginia Water Facilities Revolving Fund (the "VRA"), to finance
improvements extending a sewer line to the Banner Community served by the Authority (the
"Project").

The Authority has requested the Board of Supervisors of Wise County, Virginia (the
"County") to facilitate the issuance and sale of the Bond by consenting to the issuance of the Bond

and providing for the County's moral obligation to make certain appropriations to the Authority with
respect to the Bond and the Authority's water and sewer system (the "System").

As part of its plan for financing the Project, the Authority proposes to execute these
documents, drafts of which have been presented to the Board of Supervisors at this meeting:
a. Financing Agreement (the "Financing Agreement") between the

Authority and the VRA; and
b. Support Agreement (the "Support Agreement"), between the Authority,
the Board of Supervisors of the County and the VRA,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF WISE COUNTY,
VFRGINIA:
1. The Authority's plan of financing for the Project, substantially on the terms set forth
in the Financing Agreement and which involves the issuance of the Bond in the principal amount not
to exceed $570,809 without interest accruing thereon, with principal payable in equal semi-annual
installments over a term of approximately 25 years, is approved. The Board of Supervisors consents
to the issuance of the Bond.
2. The Board of Supervisors agrees, in accordance with the Support Agreement, to pay

to the Authority amounts sufficient to pay the debt service under the Bond and any other
indebtedness secured by or payable from the revenues of the System, including the Existing Parity
]^^ds set forth on Exhibit F to the Financing Agreement, the operation and maintenance expense of
the System of which the Project is a part, and additional payments for costs and expenses related to
any amendment, waiver, consent, or collection or enforcement proceedings under the Financing
Agreement, subject to annual appropriation by the Board of Supervisors, all on the terms and

conditions to be provided in the Support Agreement. The County's obligations to make payments to
the Authority pursuant to this resolution shall be subject to and dependent upon annual

26

appropriations being made from time to time by the Board of Supervisors for such purpose. Nothing
in this resolution, the Bond or the Support Agreement, shall constitute a debt of the County within
the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or a pledge of the faith or credit or the
taxing power of the County.

3. The Board of Supervisors acknowledges that (i) the obligations of the Authority to
determine, and of the County to pay, the charges for the use of and for services to be furnished by

the System (as defined in the Financing Agreement) are crucial to the security for the Bond, (ii)
VRA would not purchase the Bond without the security and credit enhancement provided by the
Support Agreement, (lit) VRA will be a third party beneficiary of the Support Agreement for so long
as the Bond remains outstanding, and (iv) VRA is treating the Support Agreement as a "local
obligation" within the meaning of Section 62.1-199 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended
[Wie "Virginia Code"), which in the event of a nonpayment thereunder authorizes VRA to file an
affidavit with the Governor that such nonpayment has occurred pursuant to Section 62.1 "216. 1 of the

Virginia Code. Section 62.1-216.1 of the Virginia Code provides that if the Governor is satisfied that
such nonpayment has occurred, the Governor will immediately make an order directing the

Comptroller to withhold all further payment to the County of all funds, or of any part of them,
appropriated and payable by the Commonwealth of Virginia to the County for any and all purposes,
and the Governor will, while the nonpayment continues, direct in writing the payment of all sums
withheld by the Comptroller, or as much of them as is necessary, to VRA, so as to cure, or cure
insofar as possible, such nonpayment
4. Any one of the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Supervisors or the

(Dounty Administrator is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Support Agreement on
behalf of the County, the form of which is approved. The Support Agreement shall be in
substantially the form as presented to this meeting, with such changes, insertions and deletions as
may be approved by the officer executing it, his execution to constitute conclusive evidence of his
approval of any such changes, insertions or deletions; provided, however, that the terms of the Bond

are substantially as stated in this resolution. The County Administrator is authorized and directed to
take such actions and give such notices as may be required under the Support Agreement

5. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. Unless otherwise
defined, each capitalized term used in this Resolution shall have the meaning given in the Financing
Agreement.

Wise County Litter Control Department
Monthly Report
February 2026
Enforcement
• We received 22 new complaints. 16 of those were closed out the same month

• One new illegal dumpsite was discovered. It was cleaned up. Two other older illegal
dumpsites were cleaned up as well.

• We have 39 dumpsites that need to be cleaned up
® We have a total of 100 active complaints, including the illegal dumpsltes.
• We have 20 cases in court

Trash Detail

• We worked 7 days picking up trash
• We cleaned 9.9 Miles of roadway

• We picked up 1 64 bags of trash
• Our SECOR and probationer crew worked a total of 272 hours
Due to budget cuts we have had our SECOR workforce cut from 6 to 2 workers. This means we
v\' c "

will see a drastically reduced number of road miles cleaned and bags picked up. Which is
evident in our numbers.

Recycling
• We had a pause on the start of our plastic recycling program due to an unanticipated wait
on signage. The Public Works Department has officially statrted collecting plastic. Mr.
Darter has informed me that there are collection sites at all 10 manned convenience
centers.
v"> '. '

' )

Special Projects
• We worked on 4 new special projects. We completed all of them plus an older special
project.
