FY 2024 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSION - HRSA HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM GRANT NUMBER: H80CS00040 COLORADO COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS (CCH), A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER, PROPOSES EXPANSION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS INCLUDING THOSE NOW STABILIZING IN CCH-OWNED AND OPERATED HOUSING. STUDIES SHOW INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE UNHOUSED HAVE MUCH HIGHER RATES OF PHYSICAL HEALTH ISSUES AND MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AND/OR SUBSTANCE USE THAN PEOPLE WHO ARE STABLY HOUSED. PEOPLE LIVING OUTSIDE OR IN EMERGENCY SHELTER FACE BARRIERS TO CARE THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACT BOTH THEIR INITIAL AND ONGOING TREATMENT. BARRIERS INCLUDE LACK OF HEALTH INSURANCE, TRANSPORTATION, CHILDCARE, PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION/DOCUMENTATION, COMPETING PRIORITIES FOR DAILY FOOD, SHELTER AND SAFETY. AS THE LEADING HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS PROVIDER IN COLORADO, CCH’S PROJECT WILL EXPAND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES IN CCH’S SERVICE AREA WHICH INCLUDES THE 7-COUNTY METRO DENVER REGION AND 6-COUNTIES IN RURAL SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO. IN METRO DENVER, THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL ADD A 1.0 FTE PSYCHIATRIST TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) SERVICES TO INCLUDE PRESCRIBING AND MANAGING MEDICATIONS FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (MOUD). THIS LICENSED INDEPENDENT PROVIDER WILL FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS ON PROVIDING SERVICES OUTSIDE OF TRADITIONAL OUTPATIENT HEALTH CENTER SITES INCLUDING VIA STREET MEDICINE, A MOBILE MEDICAL VEHICLE, AND IN CCH-OPERATED AFFORDABLE AND PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING SITES. CURRENTLY, CCH PROVIDES MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD SERVICES ON A LIMITED BASIS OR NOT AT ALL IN THESE LOCATIONS. MEETING PATIENTS WHERE THEY ARE IN NON-TRADITIONAL SETTINGS WILL EXPAND MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD SERVICE ACCESS AND INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CCH PATIENTS RECEIVING THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE THEY NEED AND DESERVE.

FISCAL YEAR 2025 EXPANDED HOURS. - COLORADO COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS (CCH) PROPOSES AN EXPANDED HOURS PROJECT TO SERVE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. AS A HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS PROVIDER FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS, CCH KNOWS THAT UNSHELTERED PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS, IN ENCAMPMENTS AND EMERGENCY SHELTERS HAVE COMPLEX HEALTH NEEDS. SINCE PEOPLE WHO ARE UNHOUSED HAVE CONSTANTLY CHANGING LIVING SITUATIONS AND UNPREDICTABLE SCHEDULES, CCH DELIVERS INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDING MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL CARE IN A WIDE RANGE OF LOCATIONS INCLUDING TRADITIONAL HEALTH CENTER SITES, SHELTER-BASED HEALTH CENTERS AND NON-TRADITIONAL SETTINGS TO MINIMIZE ACCESS BARRIERS. THE ORGANIZATION’S HEALTH CARE SERVICE AREA INCLUDES THE 7-COUNTY METRO DENVER REGION AND 6-COUNTIES IN RURAL, SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO. FOR THIS PROJECT, CCH WILL INCREASE HOURS OF OPERATION AT TWO SERVICE SITES IN METRO DENVER: 1) 48TH AVENUE EAST SHELTER HEALTH CENTER 2) STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM BASED AT STOUT STREET HEALTH CENTER EXTENDING THE HOURS OF OPERATION AT THESE TWO METRO DENVER SITES WILL GIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE UNHOUSED INCREASED AND MORE CONVENIENT ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDING PRIMARY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE. PEOPLE WHO ARE UNSHELTERED HAVE DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH RATES OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. OFTEN, PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS MAY NOT SEEK OR OBTAIN CARE UNTIL THEIR ILLNESS IS ADVANCED AND PRESENT WITH MORE ACUTE, OFTEN LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS SUCH AS CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, DIABETES, AND ORGAN DAMAGE. RECEIVING PRIMARY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE AT THESE SITES WILL REDUCE PATIENT VISITS TO DENVER EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS AND REDUCE PUBLIC HEALTH CARE COSTS. CCH IS A HEALTH CENTER AWARD RECIPIENT WITH ACTIVE GRANT AWARD H80CS00040. IN 2023, CCH SERVED MORE THAN 17,000 PATIENTS ACROSS 19 HRSA PROJECT SITES.
