TOGETHER; RECOVERY & EMPLOYMENT - PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT CORPORATION (PHMC) PROPOSES TOGETHER: RECOVERY AND EMPLOYMENT (TRE) TO PROVIDE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TO 200 INDIVIDUALS IN PHILADELPHIA WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD). 100 INDIVIDUALS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN A CERTIFICATION IN MEDICAL BILLING AND CODING AND PARTICIPATE IN A PAID WORK EXPERIENCE PROVIDED BY PHMC. PHILADELPHIA IS THE POOREST OF THE NATION’S 10 LARGEST CITIES, WITH 25.3% OF PHILADELPHIA ADULTS LIVING BELOW POVERTY AND 12.3% OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN “DEEP POVERTY”. IN 2017, PHILADELPHIA EXPERIENCED 1,200 DEATHS RELATED TO DRUG OVERDOSES. ESTIMATES FROM 2011-2015 PUT INDIVIDUALS IN PHILADELPHIA STRUGGLING WITH SUD AT A MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $38,253, WITH 26.4% OF THE POPULATION HAVING HAD AN INCOME IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS THAT PUT THEM BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR THE SUD POPULATION DURING THIS TIME WAS 13.9%. THE NEED FOR MEDICAL BILLERS AND CODERS (MB&C) IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE. PHILADELPHIA WORKS, INC. LISTS THIS OCCUPATION AS A ‘HIGH PRIORITY OCCUPATION’ AND PROJECTS THAT THE PHILADELPHIA AREA WILL NEED 1,430 (13.5% INCREASE) MB&C BY 2026. THE PROPOSED GOAL FOR TRE IS TO PROVIDE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND JOB PLACEMENT SERVICES TO 200 INDIVIDUALS BEING TREATED FOR SUD. PHMC PROPOSES BY FEBRUARY 2025 TO CERTIFY 100 INDIVIDUALS IN MB&C AND PLACE THEM IN EMPLOYMENT IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR AND BY MARCH 2025 TO SUPPORT AND PLACE 100 INDIVIDUALS WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE MB&C CERTIFICATION INTO EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. TO ACHIEVE THIS PHMC PROPOSES TO PROVIDE CLIENTS AN ASSESSMENTS OF THEIR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT NEEDS, 8 WEEKS OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT USING THE EVIDENCE-BASED PAIRIN CURRICULUM, A 6 MONTH VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN MB&C, AND PLACEMENT IN SUSTAINABLE POSITIONS EITHER IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR OR OTHER AREA. TO EXECUTE TRE, PHMC PROPOSES A TEAM OF INDIVIDUALS THAT INCLUDES A MANAGING DIRECTOR, SENIOR DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR, PROGRAM MANAGER, JOB DEVELOPER, FACILITATOR, CASE MANAGER, AND PROGRAM ASSISTANT. DATA ON TRE IS PROPOSED TO BE ENTERED, TRACKED, AND MANAGED INTO PHMC’S NEW INTEGRATED HEALTH PLATFORM WITH STRICT PRIVACY POLICIES ADHERE TO. PHMC HAS SERVED THE GREATER PHILADELPHIA REGION SINCE 1972 APPLYING BEST PRACTICES AND EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. FOR DECADES PHMC HAS ADAPTED AN INDIVIDUAL PLACEMENT AND SUPPORTS (IPS) MODEL OF SUPPORTED TREATMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SUD. SINCE ITS FOUNDING, PHMC HAS SERVED MORE THAN 25,000 OF PHILADELPHIA’S LOW-INCOME ADULTS AND YOUTH HELPING THEM TO GAIN THE SKILLS TO OBTAIN QUALITY JOBS IN GROWING INDUSTRIES. THIS VAST EXPERIENCE OF PROVIDING SUD TREATMENT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES, HAS PREPARED PHMC TO IMPLEMENT TRE TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF PHILADELPHIANS WITH SUD.

FAMILY RESILIENCE PROGRAM (FRP) - THE ONSET OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PERPETUATED AND MAGNIFIED ANOTHER KIND OF EPIDEMIC: THE OPIOID CRISIS. IT HAS REMAINED ONE OF THE LEADING PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCIES IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH FATAL OPIOID OVERDOSES INCREASING OVER THE PAST DECADE. THE IMPACT OF THE OPIOID CRISIS EXPANDS FAR BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL. SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUDS) AFFECTS THE INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS OF THE INDIVIDUAL STRUGGLING WITH SUD. WITH MOTHERS OFTEN AT THE CENTER OF FAMILIES, PROVIDING CARE TO A MOTHER CAN IMPACT NOT JUST HER, BUT HER CHILDREN AND SURROUNDING FAMILY MEMBERS AS WELL. FURTHERMORE, SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY CAN ENCIRCLE THE MOTHER, GENERATING LASTING OUTCOMES FOR HER RECOVERY AND SUSTAINING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS. EVIDENCE DEMONSTRATES THAT WRAP-AROUND SERVICES HAVE A GREATER IMPACT ON THE REDUCTION OF SUBSTANCE MISUSE AND INCREASED LEVELS OF OVERALL HEALTH OF PARTICIPANTS THAN SERVICES THAT ONLY INTERACT WITH AN INDIVIDUAL. HOWEVER, THE PANDEMIC LIMITED ACCESS TO THESE KINDS OF SERVICES. TREATMENT PROGRAMS REPORTED A 20 TO 60% REDUCTION IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL AS DELAYS IN INITIATING TREATMENT, A REDUCTION IN TREATMENT OPTIONS, LESS FREQUENT SERVICES AND THE PROHIBITION OF FAMILY VISITATIONS (MELAMED, 2022). IN THE PROPOSED FAMILY RESILIENCE PROGRAM (FRP), PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT CORPORATION (PHMC), A NON-PROFIT HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY FOUNDED IN 1972, WILL ENHANCE THE SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH A LONG-TERM RESIDENTIAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN, INTERIM HOUSE W (IHW) TO MATCH OR EXCEED PRE-PANDEMIC SERVICE LEVELS AND INCREASE QUALITY OF PROGRAMMING. IHW, LOCATED IN EAST PARKSIDE OF WEST PHILADELPHIA, HAS ASSISTED WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN MAINTAINING INDEPENDENT AND DRUG-FREE LIFESTYLES FOR 26 YEARS. IHW'S PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY EMPHASIZES EMPOWERMENT AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY, WHILE ALSO ENCOURAGING PEER SUPPORT. PHMC IS APPLYING TO SAMHSA TO SUPPORT ADDITIONS THAT WILL COMPLEMENT AND ENHANCE EXISTING SERVICES TO IHW'S MOTHERS, THEIR CHILDREN, AND OTHER ADULTS IN THEIR LIVES. WE BELIEVE THAT THE ADDITION OF THE SERVICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL, INCLUDING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES, WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT NOT ONLY THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, BUT THE LONG-TERM HEALTH AND REDUCTION OF SUBSTANCE MISUSE AMONG MOTHERS, MANY OF WHOM ARE INFECTED WITH HIV, STRUGGLING WITH CO-OCCURRING MENTAL DISORDERS, AND FACE BARRIERS TO HEALTH AND ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT. FOR THIS FUNDING PERIOD, THE GOALS OF THE FRP OVER THE 5 YEARS ARE TO: 1) EXPAND THE NUMBER OF PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER RECEIVING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND RECOVERY SERVICES BY PROVIDING SERVICES TO 200 PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN WITH SUD; 2) ENHANCE CURRENT SERVICE DELIVERY TO PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN IN RECOVERY AT IHW AND THEIR FAMILIES BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL EBPS BY MORE STAFF TRAINING AND CERTIFICATIONS; 3) EXPAND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO FAMILY MEMBERS OF PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN WITH SUD WHO ARE IN RECOVERY AT IHW BY IDENTIFYING AND ENROLLING 300 NON-RESIDENT CHILDREN (BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13-18) AND RESIDENT CHILDREN AND 200 OTHER IDENTIFIED ADULT FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY RECEIVING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES.

PHMC AND STATE ASSOCIATION PARTNERS, PPHA AND DPHA, ARE COMMITTED TO A MODEL THAT IDENTIFIES, ENGAGES, RECRUITS, TRAINS, RETAINS, AND EMPLOYS CHWS TO EFFECTIVELY REACH AS MANY UNDERSERVED AND RURAL COMMUNITIES AS POSSIBLE. PHMC AND ITS ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERS ARE COMMITTED TO THREE PRIMARY GOALS FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT: 1) EXPANSION OF CHWS INTO THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WORKFORCE THROUGH DIDACTIC AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, 2) INCREASED CHW EMPLOYMENT READINESS THROUGH APPRENTICESHIPS, AND 3) PROMOTION OF HEALTH EQUITY THROUGHOUT COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE CHW WORKFORCE. PHMC REQUESTS FUNDING PRIORITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS PROGRAM’S ABILITY TO TEACH TRAINEES ABOUT THE ROLE OF FAMILY AND LIVED EXPERIENCES OF THE CONSUMER AND FAMILY-PARAPROFESSIONAL PARTNERSHIP.

THE MISSION OF THE DELAWARE COUNTY REENTRY COALITION IS TO ENHANCE THE DELAWARE COUNTY COMMUNITY BY UNDERTAKING A BROAD APPROACH TO CREATE AND STRENGTHEN SUPPORT NETWORKS THAT ENCOURAGE DIGNITY, ADDRESS BASIC NEEDS, AND RESET POSITIVE SELF-IMAGES FOR INCARCERATED AND FORMERLY INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS. THIS COALITION IS PARTNERING WITH PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT CORPORATION (PHMC) TO IMPLEMENT COMPREHENSIVE PRE- AND POST-RELEASE SUPPORT SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUALS TRANSITIONING FROM GEORGE W. HILL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY (GWH) TO THE DELAWARE COUNTY COMMUNITY. THE DELAWARE COUNTY REENTRY PROGRAM (DCRP) WILL BEGIN WHEN INDIVIDUALS ARE INCARCERATED AND CONTINUE THROUGH THEIR REINTEGRATION INTO THE COMMUNITY AND BEYOND. BUILDING ON THE METHODOLOGY OF A REENTRY PROGRAM WITH PROVEN SUCCESS IN NEIGHBORING PHILADELPHIA, DCRP WILL STREAMLINE COMMUNICATIONS, REFERRALS, AND SERVICES BETWEEN INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS, COURTS, PRISON, PROBATION, AND PROVIDER AGENCIES. DCRP WILL BE BASED ON AN EXISTING PRISON DEFERRAL PROGRAM, FORENSIC INTENSIVE RECOVERY (FIR), WHICH AIMS TO REDUCE CRIMINAL RECIDIVISM BY EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE, SELF-SUFFICIENT CITIZENS WHO MAINTAIN GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY MAINTAINING SUBSTANCE-FREE LIFESTYLE. BY TREATING THE ROOT CAUSE OF MANY CRIMES, THIS PROGRAM CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY REDUCE RECIDIVISM, SAVE THE LIVES OF OFFENDERS AND THEIR CHILDREN, REDUCE THE JAIL POPULATION, AND ENHANCE COMMUNITY SAFETY. FIR OFFERS A SYSTEM THAT EMPHASIZES COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP, EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH, PEER SUPPORT, AND QUALITY CARE. IN ALIGNMENT WITH PRIORITY (1A), THE PROGRAM WILL REMOVE BARRIERS OF ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY BY SERVING COMMUNITIES WHICH ARE HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED. TWO-THIRDS OF THE INCARCERATED POPULATION IS AFRICAN AMERICAN—NEARLY THREE TIMES THE PERCENTAGE OF AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE DELAWARE COUNTY COMMUNITY (23%). IN ALIGNMENT WITH PRIORITY (2A), PHMC WILL IMPLEMENT ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED EFFECTIVE IN FACILITATING THE SUCCESSFUL REENTRY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN INCARCERATED. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN PROVEN TO REDUCE RATES OF REINCARCERATION AND INCREASE TIME TO REINCARCERATION; AN EVALUATION OF FIR SHOWED THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO COMPLETED A MINIMUM OF 6 MONTHS IN THE PROGRAM WERE 66% LESS LIKELY TO BE CONVICTED OF A NEW CRIME.   PHMC PROPOSES TO SERVE 100 INDIVIDUALS PER YEAR, FOR A TOTAL OF 300 OVER THE THREE-YEAR PROJECT PERIOD. PROGRAMMING WOULD SPECIFICALLY TARGET THE SUBSET OF THAT POPULATION NEEDING COMMUNITY-BASED TREATMENT (MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, MEDICAL ILLNESSES, PSYCHO-SOCIAL, ETC.) AND SUPPORT SERVICES.
