CABHI-Lincoln - This project will end chronic homelessness in Lincoln, Nebraska by addressing the needs of persons experiencing chronic homelessness and have SUD, SMI, SED, or COD. The project will enroll and retain 60 chronically homeless persons in the first year. Permanent Supportive Housing will be used as the model within which outreach, screening, housing, treatment, and support services will be delivered. The project will leverage existing services and programs to provide the critical supports necessary for persons to receive and retain housing. Currently Lincoln's services system lacks the ability to provide immediate supportive services, based on consumer choice, and also lacks key housing, employment, and peer supports to help retain housing. Clients will be identified and prescreened using Lincoln's existing, successful Lincoln All Doors Lead Home system, Lincolns Continuum of Care homeless coordinated entry system. The target population will be invited to enroll in the project to receive immediate, prioritized housing. Consumers will be provided a choice of scattered site housing through a housing first low demand approach. After the immediate priority of housing is accomplished, a diagnostic interview is completed by a psychiatrist or APRN and a biopsychosocial assessment by a LIMHP for the purpose of service planning and referral to appropriate levels of care. The client and Care Manager work together toward rehabilitation and skills building and ensure enrollment in appropriate benefits programs and referrals to all appropriate services. The Care Manager and Peer Supporters will stay in regular contact with clients and will use Lincoln HMIS to monitor all services including prioritized SOAR, Supportive Employment, medication management, and other mainstream resources with a focus of housing retention. The project will be led by the region's Behavioral Health Authority in partnership with the two leading organizations providing services to this population.
