HEAD START AND EARLY HEAD START

EL NUEVO COMIENZO (ENC) (THE NEW START) - THE UNITED COMMUNITY CENTER’S (UCC) EL NUEVO COMIENZO (ENC) (THE NEW START) PROJECT WILL EXPAND/ENHANCE ACCESS TO MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) SERVICES FOR 332 RESIDENTS OF MILWAUKEE COUNTY WITH AN OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) SEEKING OR RECEIVING MAT. SERVICES WILL BE DELIVERED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF UCC’S MULTI-PROGRAM COMMUNITY CENTER SERVING MC’S HISPANIC COMMUNITY. WHILE THE UCC SUD TREATMENT PROGRAM SERVES INDIVIDUALS OF ALL RACES/ETHNICITIES, IN 2019, 30% OF THOSE SERVED WERE HISPANIC, ABOUT TWICE THE PROPORTION (15.6%) OF HISPANICS WHO LIVE IN THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE. IN 2018, MILWAUKEE HAD THE 5TH HIGHEST RATE (.49%) OF PAST-YEAR HEROIN USE AMONG THE NATION’S 60 LARGEST URBAN AREAS. ACCORDING TO THE MILWAUKEE COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER’S OFFICE, 435 PEOPLE DIED FROM OPIOID OVERDOSE IN 2020 THROUGH OCTOBER 18TH, ALREADY THE HIGHEST ANNUAL TOTAL EVER RECORDED. AT THAT RATE, THE TOTAL DEATHS FOR 2020 WOULD PROJECT TO FULL-YEAR TOTAL OF 523, A GREATER THAN 100% INCREASE FROM JUST 5 YEARS EARLIER (255). THE ZIP CODES WITH THE MOST DEATHS IN 2019 WERE 52204 (38 DEATHS) AND 53215 (46), THE TWO ZIP CODES REPRESENTING THE HEART OF UCC’S SERVICE AREA. THE MILWAUKEE COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIVISION (BHD), WHICH PROVIDES TREATMENT TO LOW-INCOME PERSONS, REPORTS THAT, IN 2019, 26.2% OF INDIVIDUALS SEEKING TREATMENT REPORTED OPIOIDS AS THEIR PRIMARY SUBSTANCE AT INTAKE. IN CONTRAST, FULLY 60.2% (404 OF 671) OF THOSE RECEIVING TREATMENT AT UCC IN 2019 REPORTED THEIR PRIMARY SUBSTANCE AS OPIOIDS - AND 72.4% (218 OF 301) OF THOSE ADMITTED TO RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT. UCC WILL ADMIT PERSONS TO ENC WHO MEET CRITERIA FOR RESIDENTIAL LEVEL OF CARE. HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE CONTINUUM OF CARE (DAY TREATMENT AND OUTPATIENT) WILL BE AVAILABLE WHEN CLIENTS ARE READY TO STEP DOWN TO A LOWER LEVEL OF CARE. UCC OPERATES THREE RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES WITH 47 BEDS (15 FOR MEN, 32 FOR WOMEN) INCLUDING FAMILY SUITES SO CHILDREN CAN RESIDE WITH THEIR MOTHERS. THE MAJOR EC TREATMENT FRAMEWORK WILL BE THE MATRIX MODEL IN COMBINATION WITH ONSITE MAT PROVIDED BY AN ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSE PRESCRIBER (APNP) WITH A DOCTORATE IN NURSING PRACTICE (DNP). OTHER EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES INCLUDE SEEKING SAFETY, TO ADDRESS THE TRAUMA HISTORIES AND SYMPTOMS THAT COMMONLY CO-OCCUR WITH SUD, AND MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING. ALL CLIENTS WILL BE ASSIGNED A RECOVERY SUPPORT COORDINATOR (RSC) WHO WILL ASSIST THEM TO DEVELOP A RECOVERY PLAN OF CARE (RPOC) BASED ON A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THEIR CLINICAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS AS WELL AS THOSE OF THEIR FAMILY. UCC HAS PUT TOGETHER A ROBUST NETWORK OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT WILL OFFER SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FROM HOUSING TO PRE/POSTNATAL CARE, TO CHILD/FAMILY SERVICES, TO EDUCATION/EMPLOYMENT SERVICES. MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: TREATMENT RETENTION, DECREASED SUBSTANCE USE, DECREASED MENTAL/HEALTH/TRAUMA SYMPTOMS, SCREENING FOR HIV/VIRAL HEPATITIS, PROGRESS ON ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY, NO NEW CRIMINAL JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT, ACCESS TO STABLE HOUSING, AND CONNECTION TO SOCIAL SUPPORTS.

UNITED COMMUNITY CENTER " UN NUEVO AMANECER" ( " A NEW DAWN")

UNITED COMMUNITY CENTER EL NUEVO COMIENZO (ENC) (THE NEW START) PROJECT - THE UNITED COMMUNITY CENTER’S (UCC) PROPOSED EL NUEVO COMIENZO (ENC) (THE NEW START) PROJECT WILL SERVE MEN AND WOMEN WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS OR CO-OCCURRING SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS WHO RESIDE IN MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WI. ENC WILL FOCUS ON INDIVIDUALS WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER, PRIORITIZING ADMISSION FOR PEOPLE WHO INJECT DRUGS. PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE SUD TREATMENT IN A RESIDENTIAL LEVEL OF CARE INCLUDING ONSITE MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT). ENC WILL SERVE 170 (UNDUPLICATED) INDIVIDUALS OVER THE 3-YEAR GRANT PERIOD: 50 IN YEAR 1 AND 60 IN EACH OF YEARS 2 AND 3. SERVICES WILL BE DELIVERED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF UCC’S MULTI-PROGRAM COMMUNITY CENTER SERVING MILWAUKEE’S HISPANIC COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM WILL EMPLOY AN INTEGRATION OF TWO EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES TO OUD TREATMENT: 1) A BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT, THE MATRIX MODEL, AND 2) A PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT, MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT). MAT, WHICH IS A PART OF THE MATRIX MODEL, WILL BE AN IMPORTANT TREATMENT COMPONENT, GIVEN THAT THE DRUG OF CHOICE FOR ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS OF UCC CLIENTS IS OPIOIDS. AT ADMISSION, PARTICIPANTS IN ENC WILL BE THOSE WHO MEET ASAM CRITERIA STANDARDS FOR LEVEL 3 (RESIDENTIAL) LEVEL OF CARE. ENC WILL OFFER MAT ONSITE. PROJECT PARTNER CLEANSLATE IS CO-LOCATED IN UCC’S TREATMENT FACILITY.

THE COMBINATION OF THE IMPACT OF SUBSTANCES ON THE BODY, THE MASKING OF PHYSICAL PROBLEMS BY THE SUBSTANCES, AND THE REDUCED ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE FOR LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS ENSURES THAT PARTICIPANTS SERVED IN ENC WILL BE IN NEED OF CONSISTENT MEDICAL ATTENTION. PRIMARY HEALTH AND OTHER MEDICAL CARE WILL BE PROVIDED BY FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) SIXTEENTH STREET COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (SSCHC). THE GOAL IS THE FULL INTEGRATION OF BEHAVIOR HEALTH SERVICES, MONITORED BY THE UCC NURSE (RN), WITH THE FULL RANGE OF MEDICAL SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH SSCHC. GIVEN THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SUD AND TRAUMA HISTORY/SYMPTOMS, ALL SERVICE DELIVERY WILL BE TRAUMA-INFORMED, WHICH HELPS STAFF TO UNDERSTAND BEHAVIOR AS COPING MECHANISMS RATHER THAN PATHOLOGY; AVOID TRAUMA-TRIGGERING REACTIONS; ADJUST THEIR BEHAVIOR AND MODIFY THE ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE TO SUPPORT THE CLIENT’S HEALTHY COPING CAPACITY; AND ALLOW THEM TO MANAGE THEIR TRAUMA SYMPTOMS SO THEY ARE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM THE SERVICES. IN ADDITION A TRAUMA SPECIFIC CURRICULUM, SEEKING SAFETY WILL BE PROVIDED FOR ALL CLIENTS. PROJECT GOALS ARE 1) PROVIDE TREATMENT & RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH SUD/COD, PRIMARILY THOSE WITH OUD; 2) PARTICIPANTS WILL BE RETAINED IN SUD/COD TREATMENT.; 3) CONNECT PEOPLE WITH OUD TO MAT; 4) PARTICIPANTS WILL DECREASE SUBSTANCE USE; 5) IMPROVE PARTICIPANTS' MENTAL HEALTH; 6) PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE STABLE HOUSING ARRANGEMENTS; 7) PARTICIPANTS WILL IMPROVE THEIR EMPLOYMENT AND/OR EDUCATION STATUS; 8) DECREASE INVOLVEMENT IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM; 9) PARTICIPANTS WILL IMPROVE SOCIAL SUPPORTS FOR RECOVERY; 10) INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES FOR UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS.

TARGETED ZIP CODES 53204/53215 HAVE HIGH RATES OF CRIME. IN THE PAST 24 MONTHS, UCC SCHOOL DISTRICT ASSESSED ITS SECURITY RISKS & CORRESPONDING RESPONSE CAPACITIES. WHILE ASSESSMENTS ARE DONE EVERY 2-3 YEARS, RECENT ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES MADE THE NEED MORE PRESSING E.G., ESCALATED NUMBER OF INCIDENTS AT UCC SCHOOLS (& NATIONALLY), PANDEMIC & POLITICAL/SOCIAL UPHEAVAL IMPACTS. THE CAMPUS-WIDE ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED BY AN INDEPENDENT SECURITY CONSULTANT. CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROCESS WAS KEY PROJECT PARTNER MILWAUKEE POLICE DEPARTMENT (MPD) DISTRICT TWO (ALONG WITH OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS). FINDINGS INDICATED THE CAMPUS IS STILL HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO A RACIALLY MOTIVATED VIOLENT EXTREMIST, ALONG WITH (1) DEFICIENCIES IN OPERATIONAL & FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS OF CCTV SYSTEM. LACK OF TACTICAL VIEWS AT ENTRY WAYS, PINCH POINTS, & CRITICAL LOCATIONS NEAR FREEWAY, PLAYGROUND, HIGH TRAFFICKED AREAS. (2) NO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME ON-SITE INFORMATION SHARING CRITICAL TO ADVISE OCCUPANTS OF IMMINENT DANGER & RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS. IN 2022-23, UCC SCHOOLS IMPLEMENTED THE I LOVE U GUYS FOUNDATIONS STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL (SRP) DERIVED FROM RESEARCH-BASED BEST PRACTICE. STAFF RECEIVED ON-SITE TRAINING & STUDENTS/PARENTS HAVE ALSO BEEN TRAINED & ARE BEING DRILLED MONTHLY. TO DATE THIS YEAR, THERE HAVE BEEN 4 INCIDENTS ON OR ADJACENT TO UCC SCHOOLS INVOLVING THREAT/ACTUAL USE OF FIREARMS. THE SRP WAS SUCCESSFULLY UTILIZED FOR THESE INCIDENTS & POST-INCIDENT MPD DEBRIEFINGS WERE HELD. THIS REQUEST REFLECTS NEEDS IDENTIFIED AS MOST CRITICAL TO HARDENED PREVENTION & RESPONSE CAPABILITIES. IN CONJUNCTION WITH ITS STAKEHOLDERS, UCC WORKS TO ENSURE EFFORTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH SCHOOL MISSION, CULTURE, & GUIDING PRINCIPLES (E.G., ACCESSIBILITY, TRANSPARENCY). GOALS ARE THAT: 1) UCC SCHOOLS STUDENTS, PARENTS, FAMILIES, & STAFF WILL FEEL SAFE, VALUED, & EMPOWERED TO RESPOND CONFIDENTLY/COMPETENTLY TO A CAMPUS EMERGENCY. 2) POST-INCIDENT ANALYSIS (& FUTURE RISK ASSESSMENTS) WILL REPORT QUANTIFIABLE (& SUSTAINED) MITIGATION OF NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES RELATED TO ATTEMPTED OR PERPETRATED BREACHES TO CAMPUS SECURITY. OBJECTIVES ARE THAT: UCC SCHOOLS WILL BE FULLY COMPLIANT WITH 2021 RISK ASSESSMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FACTORED INTO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING & THIS REQUEST. ENHANCED CAMPUS SECURITY & TRAINING RESULT IN 75% OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, STAFF, & COMMUNITY STATING (VIA SURVEY) THEY FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT THEIR SAFETY WHILE ON CAMPUS. 75% OF UCC SCHOOLS STUDENTS, STAFF, & PARENTS SURVEYED REPORT THEY EXPERIENCE INDICATORS OF A HEALTHY SCHOOL CLIMATE. CURRENT STATUS IS ONE OF INTEGRATING RECOMMENDED SAFETY PROCESSES & PHYSICAL PLANT IMPROVEMENTS. EXPANDED NOTIFICATION PROTOCOLS ARE IN PLACE & UCC IS SEEKING THIS & OTHER FUNDING TO MAKE PHYSICAL PLANT CHANGES/ADDITIONS TO OPTIMIZE SAFETY, VIOLENCE PREVENTION, & A CLIMATE WHERE ALL ARE EMPOWERED TO RESPOND COMPETENTLY TO THREATS. REFLECTING EXPERT RECOMMENDATION, UCC SCHOOLS WILL USE COPS/SVPP FUNDS TO PURCHASE & INSTALL SECURITY HARDENING EQUIPMENT: PANIC BUTTONS; DOOR LOCKS INCLUDING NEW LOCKS ON MIDDLE SCHOOL FRONT DOORS; UPGRADED, FULLY INTEGRATED PAGING SYSTEM; UPGRADED 2-WAY RADIOS; &, ADDITIONAL/UPGRADED SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS.
