St. Luke's Healthy and Free Project will provide integrated primary health, residential substance abuse and mental health services to targeted at-risk and HIV-infected populations at the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, Inc., St. Luke's Addiction and Recovery Center in Miami, Florida. The project targets men who inject drugs, including men who have sex with men (MSM), and at-risk non-injecting MSMs; minority women (African-American and Hispanic/Latino); and individuals released from prisons and jails within the past two years. The Healthy and Free Project proposes to expand the number of residential beds served at the St. Luke's facility from 38 to 47 and enhance clinical services that comply with the SAMHSA Effective Practices outlined in CSAP's TIP 37: Substance Abuse Treatment for HIV At-Risk Individuals and CSAP's TIP 42: Substance Abuse Treatment for Persons with Co-Occurring Disorders. The project also proposes to enhance current residential services by offering rapid HIV testing to all residential clients, their sexual and needle-sharing partners and providing HIV/AIDS case management, medical services and coordination for all HIV positive residential clients in collaboration with partner agencies. It is expected that this program will serve a total of 885 unduplicated clients over the life of the grant.
