Meet your SOR Treatment and RECOVERY Teams!
Many OMNI staff support the evaluation of the treatment and recovery components of Virginia’s SOR grant. The SOR Treatment TA team has the most contact with CSB staff as they resolve technical issues and support administration of the GPRA through trainings and other TA resources. Project Oversight and Leads provide high-level support and guidance in evaluation and technical assistance. The SOR Recovery Team works with partners across the Commonwealth, from CSBs to state colleges and recovery housing programs, to evaluate all areas SOR recovery funding reaches. You can contact either team at SORSupport@omni.org.
