Easter Seals New Hampshire Inc

PROJECT MOVING FORWARD - EASTERSEALS NEW HAMPSHIRE, INC. (ESNH) IS REQUESTING A SAMHSA GBHI GRANT TO IMPLEMENT THE PROJECT, MOVING FORWARD. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE TO INCREASE ACCESS TO AND RETENTION OF SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO PARTICIPANTS OF FARNUM’S RESIDENTIAL SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT FACILITY WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS BY PROVIDING HOLISTIC RECOVERY-FOCUSED CARE COORDINATION SERVICES, BENEFITS AND HOUSING NAVIGATION, AND ACCESS TO EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE TARGET POPULATION FOR THE CARE COORDINATION SERVICES UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THIS PROPOSAL IS SERVICE MEMBERS, VETERANS, AND THEIR FAMILIES (SMVF) THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, OF ALL AGES AND MILITARY ERAS, WHO EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) OR CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS (COD). FOR THIS POPULATION, ESNH WILL OFFER COMPREHENSIVE ARE COORDINATION ALONGSIDE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS NAVIGATION AND HOUSING COORDINATION TO ENSURE CRITICAL NEEDS ARE MET. ESNH MVS WILL LEVERAGE EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, MADE POSSIBLE BY VETERANS COUNT, TO MEET EMERGENT NEEDS AND STABILIZE INITIAL CRISES AS A PLAN FOR HOUSING AND FINANCIAL STABILITY IS DEVELOPED. IN ADDITION, ESNH MVS PLANS TO COLLABORATE WITH THE ORGANIZATION’S OTHER CIVILIAN CLINICAL CARE COORDINATION PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, HOUSING NAVIGATION, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES. CLIENTS RECEIVING TREATMENT AT FARNUM WILL ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, BENEFITS NAVIGATION, AND HOUSING COORDINATION. THESE CLIENTS, WHO ARE ENGAGED IN CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES THROUGH THOSE PROGRAMS AND WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, REQUIRE SUCH INTERVENTIONS TO OBTAIN AND SUSTAIN SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE PROJECT WILL SERVE A MINIMUM OF 400 CASES (INDIVIDUALS AND HOUSEHOLDS), PROVIDING TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SERVICES, STABLE HOUSING ACCESS, AND WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT OVER THE FIVE-YEAR GRANT PERIOD. MOVING FORWARD WILL OPERATE AS PART OF ESNH’S STATEWIDE MILITARY & VETERANS SERVICES (MVS) THAT HAS ENGAGED OVER 15,000 SMVF IN THE PAST DECADE THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE PUBLIC-PRIVATE, MILITARY-CIVILIAN APPROACH TO ACCESS AND FUNDING. ESNH MVS HAS HAD CONSIDERABLE IMPACT IN COORDINATING CARE ACROSS DIVERSE SYSTEMS, AND INCREASING SMVF ACCESS TO TREATMENT, HOUSING STABILITY, EMPLOYMENT, SYSTEM NAVIGATION, COMMUNITY AND VA SERVICES, AND CRISIS INTERVENTION FOR UNSAFE AND EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. SAMHSA FUNDING AND OVERSIGHT FOR MOVING FORWARD WILL ADDRESS A CRITICAL SYSTEM GAP FOR VULNERABLE SMVF, AND BE INTEGRAL IN DEVELOPING, SUSTAINING, AND CODIFYING A PROMISING TREATMENT/CASE MANAGEMENT MODEL. THE PROJECT BUILDS UPON A SUCCESSFUL TIME-LIMITED PILOT PROJECT THAT PROVIDED SUD TREATMENT TO VETERANS THROUGH ESNH’S CARF-ACCREDITED FARNUM CENTER AND WRAP-AROUND CARE COORDINATION THROUGH ESNH MVS. THE PROJECT WILL EXPLORE CRITICAL TIME INTERVENTION AND ITS POTENTIAL IMPACT GIVEN THE SMVF POPULATION’S UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS, CHALLENGES AND COMPLEX SYSTEM NAVIGATION OBSTACLES. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT WILL LEVERAGE PHILANTHROPIC FUNDS RAISED THROUGH EASTERSEALS’ “VETERANS COUNT” INITIATIVE. THIS WILL NOT ONLY BROADEN THE REACH AND IMPACT OF THE PROJECT BY INCORPORATING LOCAL, PRIVATE RESOURCES, BUT ALSO BUILD CRITICALLY NEEDED TRUST IN THE SUPPORT SYSTEM AMONG HOMELESS SMVF BY PROVIDING AN EFFICIENT “HAND-UP” TO ADDRESS UNMET MATERIAL AND TREATMENT NEEDS AS THEY WORK TOWARD RECOVERY, STABLE HOUSING, AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY. THE PROJECT WILL OPERATE WITHIN NH’S COORDINATED ENTRY AND CONTINUUM OF CARE SYSTEMS, LEVERAGING HOUSING PROGRAMS OPERATED BY ESNH, THE VA, AND STATEWIDE COMMUNITY PARTNERS.
