Harm Reduction - Keep our Community "SAFE" | |
Saving lives from HIV and Hepatitis C requires aggressive strategies to reach people at high risk. The purpose of the Red Cliff SAFE Program is to help reduce harm from risky behaviors.
The SAFE Program is operated out of the Red Cliff Community Health Center. This program is available to all members of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa as well as surrounding communities. Individuals can access clean syringes, sharps containers, sterile water, antibiotic cream, alcohol wipes, and condoms. By improving access to these materials, we help people who inject heroin, meth, and other drugs to reduce their risk of contracting HIV and Hepatitis C.
In addition, the Red Cliff Community Health Center now offers Narcan. Narcan is for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. When you come in for our needle exchange, you can request a dose(s) of Narcan at no charge to you.
If you or a loved one are at risk for HIV or Hepatitis C, we will never judge you or your behaviors. You can access the services by simply stopping at the health center reception and asking for the SAFE Program. The services are provided within the health center setting and are completely confidential.
The goal is to expand sites within the next year. The current services are available Monday – Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm except holidays. You can get more information by calling (715) 779-3707.

NARCAN Training Available | |
Have you been trained and are looking to get a refresher or are you looking to get trained in the use of NARCAN?
It only takes 30 minutes to learn how to save someone from an overdose.
Do you own a business in Red Cliff and want to get trained? A training for you and your employees can be arranged.
If you’re interested in learning more, please contact Justin Hansen at the Noojimo’iwewin Center at 715-779-3707 ext. 2397 or jhansen@redcliffhealth.org

Emergency Rental Assistance Program Update | |
Attention members who are receiving Emergency Rental Assistance Program funds:
The Emergency Rental Assistance Program recently announced that Red Cliff had received additional funding from the U.S. Treasury to fund the Emergency Rental Assistance Program through September. However, the Treasury has not changed its eligibility requirements.
ERA is a temporary assistance program for renters financially impacted by the pandemic. It is federally funded, but administered by tribes, states, and municipalities. Red Cliff serves tribal households in Bayfield and Ashland Counties. Per Treasury requirements, a qualifying household can receive ERA for twelve months, with an additional three months of continuing assistance when needed. Unfortunately, this means households that have already received fifteen months of assistance cannot receive more.
If your household has received fifteen months of assistance and is no longer eligible, but still in need, please contact the Red Cliff Family and Human Services Department at 715-779-3706.
