FY 2024 Behavioral Health Service Expansion - Covenant Community Care is a Community Health Center serving the people of Metro Detroit. Since our establishment in 2002, COVENANT has expanded to include 3 clinical sites and a mobile dental Program. We currently serve 18,000 patients annually, including 1200 homeless patients. Covenant’s growth is consistent with the growing needs of the patients we serve and it is in response to that need that we seek FY2024 Behavioral Health Service Expansion funding. A 2023 Detroit Regional Chamber survey found that only 13% of Detroit residents reported easy access to mental health services in the area where they live, compared to 28% of suburban Detroit residents. (The U.S. average is 20%) Covenant is proposing to use BHSE funding to expand our services to youth and increase engagement around behavioral health care for people experiencing homelessness. We also want to better promote our services to existing Covenant patients who utilize our medical and dental services but not behavioral health. Finally, we are proposing to refresh our internal training for providers and support staff on the importance of behavioral health referrals, updated screening measures, and continued stigma reduction.
