B-Care Recovery proposes to provide effective treatment to individuals/families struggling with and impacted by serious mental illnesses (SMIs), co-occurring disorders (CODs), and serious emotional disturbances (SEDs), and to reduce homelessness in Miami, FL. This funding opportunity allows Borinquen Medical Center (BMC), a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), to enhance current outpatient health care services by providing comprehensive, integrated behavioral health and recovery support services to improve clients’ overall wellness and prepare clients to acquire and maintain permanent, secure housing. B-Care Recovery will use evidence-based practices for outreach and counseling services, ones shown to be effective with the homeless population, such as Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment (IDDT), Motivational Interviewing combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MI-CBT), Trauma Incident Reduction (TIR) and Intensive Case Management (ICM). The proposed project, using evidence based practices will address any barriers to care and work closely with community partners to serve the target population and fill identifiable gaps. The goals of the proposed project are to: 1) Increase the number of homeless individuals/families with SMIs, CODs, and/or SEDs who receive integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment; 2) Increase the number of homeless individuals/families with SMIs, CODs, and/or SEDs who have access to healthcare coverage and who receive wellness and medical services; 3) Link homeless individuals/families with SMIs, CODs, and/or SEDs into permanent housing using effective coordinated entry process and wrap around recovery support services over the 5-year period. B-Care Recovery proposes to achieve these goals by providing services to the homeless population of Miami, FL who are experiencing SMIs, CODs, and SEDs which include: outreach services; psychiatric services; individual and family therapy; trauma-focused counseling; targeted case management; linkage to available housing options, both immediate and long-term; intensive outpatient services; substance abuse counseling; wellness coaching; connection to available resources and benefit programs (e.g. SSI, TANF, snap); “wrap around” services; and access to primary care, oral health, pediatric care, OB/GYN, and Ryan White (HIV) services. These services will be provided at BMC and in conjunction with our community partners.
