Honor Community Health (HCH) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that provides comprehensive medical, mental health, oral health, enabling services, specialty care, reproductive health (Title X), and HIV/AIDS services (Ryan White); it is also a designated Health Care for the Homeless FQHC that provides comprehensive care to homeless populations while combating their unique barriers to care. The proposed project will serve the geographic catchment area of Oakland County, Michigan, situated in the southeast region of the state, with a focus on the city of Pontiac, an area in the county with disproportionate rates of poverty that contribute to access barriers to behavioral health care. Key services that HCH will implement include: expanding capacity to provide comprehensive, coordinated team-based mental health and SUD treatment; expanding targeted case management, with a focus on the homeless population; expanding the array of psychiatric rehabilitation services available to patients to help them remain in community settings; expand peer services; and establish high-quality mental health care for the veteran population. After four years, Honor Community Health will serve 6,000 unique patients. CCBHC funding will allow Honor Community Health to achieve three goals: • Goal I: To Increase engagement in behavioral and physical health services in the community by improving access to care to reduce health disparities within our target population. • Goal II: To increase opportunity of care coordination with partners by increasing screening activities to ensure access to maintain mental and physical health. • Goal III: Increase access to rehabilitation services and supports that improve ability to achieve and maintain MH and SUD recovery, including psychiatric rehabilitation and peer supports. Honor Community Health is well-positioned to establish a fully compliant CCBHC program within one year of award and already provides a significant array of mental health and substance use treatment services, support services, and integrated primary care services.
