2. What is Partners in Recovery?
It is an innovative, national 3 year program funded by the Federal Department of Health
The Program is based within the 61 Medicare Local regions

16. Flexible funding
The Partners in Recovery program has made available flexible funds. These have two targets:
Individual Partners in Recovery consumers or groups of consumers; and
Regional reform

17. Individual Flexible funds
Each host agency has an individual flexible fund budget
Flexible funds are not emergency relief and not crisis funds
