The population of focus is the residents of the rural Evangeline, Lafayette, and St. Landry Parishes in the Acadiana region of Louisiana. The total population of the area is 167,713 people, of whom 84,134 (50.2%) are low-income. SWLPHC is a Federally Qualified Health Center serving the general and homeless populations. In 2020, regional homeless numbers spiked from 417 people in January to 759 people in October. SWLPHC has integrated primary care, mental health, and substance abuse service sites in all three parishes. SWLPHC already provides primary care, mental health, and substance use disorder services, including MAT in the service area. Therefore, SWLPHC's focus is to expand access to MAT therapy and add new recovery support services and community health worker services to screen and address social determinants of health (SDoH). SWLPHC has substance abuse counseling that will be integrated into this program in kind.
