HOPES is requesting $2,000,000 million in funding to aid in the construction of a new FQHC in Reno, NV. Specifically, HOPES is requesting funding to purchase needed Medical, Pharmacy, Facilities, and IT equipment for the newly constructed health center. The project will be located at1905 E. 4th Street in Reno, Nevada. However, the project will serve individuals residing throughout all of northern Nevada. The new health center will provide integrative care to 12,000 underserved adults, including those experiencing homelessness, the undocumented, people experiencing substance use and mental health concerns, and those living in poverty; therefore, increasing access to medical and behavioral healthcare services for our areas most vulnerable. Located adjacent to the Washoe County-operated Cares Campus (the community’s homeless shelter), along with providing community members with access to low-barrier and affordable primary care and chronic disease management services, the new clinic will offer a same-day clinic, intensive outpatient behavioral health programming (the only in the region to provide this program to Medicaid patients), expanded behavioral health services and Medication-Assisted Treatment for opioid and alcohol users. Services will be offered on a sliding fee scale and not denied due to an inability to pay or insurance status. It is estimated that of the 12,000 individuals served at the new health center 25% will be individuals experiencing homelessness.
