The Hope Center, Inc. Wellness Recovery and Management (WARM) Project will target adult homeless men who are members of high-risk, underserved populations impacted by HIV and substance abuse. The specific high-risk target population for the proposed project includes primarily African-American and Latino/Hispanic adults who are homeless. The project will also target men who have been released from prisons and jails within the past two years and men who inject drugs, including men who have sex with men (MSM) and at-risk non-injecting MSMs. Additionally, the project will target men who are dually-diagnosed with a co-occurring mental disorder or mental illness. They will employ a number of evidence-based practices, including eight CSAT Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPS), NIDA's Community-Based Outreach Model, the Kelley Foundation's Recovery Dynamics, and the NIV Thinking for a Change curriculum. The project objectives are to: 1) provide enhanced outreach and screening at its five Lexington sites to 250 homeless men annually, 2) provide enhanced outreach to 1200 men annually at the Hope Center Shelter, 3) provide expanded outreach/pretreatment targeting minorities through collaboration with St. Paul and St. Matthew AME Church and Bluegrass Community Health Center, 4) screen 100% of homeless men for HIV-risk and complete rapid HIV-testing for 80% of those men, and 5) facilitate the provision of medical case management for 100% of individuals who test HIV- positive with confirmation.
