HOPE, HEALTH & HOUSING - The Hope, Health & Housing project will facilitate permanent housing and improve the overall health and well-being of homeless veterans and others who are experiencing chronic homelessness with substance use, co-occurring substance use and mental disorders. The project will improve access to services and housing and with EBPs improve the lives of clients. The target population often possesses multiple other "high-needs," including significant health problems, high rates of trauma and stressful life events, and diminished life satisfaction. We anticipate that two-thirds of the clients will be African-American (most of the remainder, non-Hispanic Caucasian); two-thirds will be male; and the average age will be 40. The vast majority of persons will be unemployed with a high school education or less and of single, separated, or divorced marital status. About one-fifth will be veterans. The project will improve access to needed services and housing through enhanced assessment, screening, and follow-up through community outreach. The project will also improve behavioral healthcare through an array of evidence-based practices and recovery-oriented services.
