For states, funders and foundations
Fund a system, not a list of programs.
Recovery funding is largely distributed program by program, which makes it almost impossible to say what the whole investment produced. RQS gives funders a regional unit of accountability with consistent measures across every region that adopts it.
What this solves
- Grantee reports that cannot be compared to one another.
- Outcomes measured as service counts rather than as recovery.
- No visibility into what happens to a person after a program ends.
- Difficulty demonstrating return on opioid settlement and recovery appropriations.
How implementation works
- Regional pilots — a defined region adopts the Hub model on a fixed timeline.
- Standardized measurement — Recovery Capital measurement applied consistently across regions.
- Independent validation — research partnership structures for outcome verification.
- Scale — proven regions become the template for the next.
What you gain
- Comparable performance data across regions.
- A defensible answer to what the funding produced.
- Explicit alignment with opioid settlement fund requirements for measurable, evidence-informed use.
- Infrastructure that survives the end of any single grant cycle.
