The program proposes to serve all adults aged 18-64 including people experiencing homelessness, racial and ethnic minorities, pregnant women, LGBTQ individuals, elderly, and individuals with disabilities. Because this age group represents the greatest risk of fatal overdose in Arkansas and Mississippi, services aimed at this group will focus on prevention, treatment, and recovery to reduce both substance/opioid abuse and potential overdose deaths. As requested in the NOFO, less than 1% of the target population is American Indian/Alaskan Native. This proposed project does not specifically target tribal populations. As an FQHC, ARcare is required to provide services to all people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, disability, etc including those who are not able to pay for service s. Community Health Workers will provide outreach education and materials with social service agencies, other medical and behavioral health organizations, and community organizations throughout the proposed service area to ensure all populations are aware of project services and resources.
