Apalachee Center’s Homeless Project is an outpatient treatment program providing services to individuals who are experiencing homelessness, have no insurance, and have been diagnosed with mental illness and co-occurring disorders. The purpose of the Homeless Project is to provide supportive services, such as job and housing search assistance, alongside psychiatric services like evaluations, medications and primary care services. Our team works in the community to provide better access to care and we want to help our clients achieve their goals of gaining independence and a better quality of life.
Services
- Psychiatric evaluations & medication management
- Our advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) meet with clients monthly to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms with medications. They also monitor the non-psychiatric medications and work closely with the client’s primary care physician.
- Case management
- Our team develops plans to deliver community services to coordinate evaluation, treatment, housing location assistance and resources tailored to an individual’s needs and preferences.
- Outreach
- Our team works in the community meeting people experiencing long-term or multiple episodes of homelessness to develop relationships necessary to support the transition to affordable housing and needed treatment. We work to bridge the gap between individuals and available services and resources.
- Financial assistance and supporting housing services
- We provide services to assist people in choosing, obtaining and retaining housing in a regular, integrated setting in the community.
- Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance outreach, access and recovery (SOAR)
- SOAR is a national program that increases access to social security and disability benefits for eligible individuals who are experiencing or who are at-risk of homelessness and have a serious mental illness, medical impairment and/or co-occurring substance use disorder. Our trained staff will work with our clients and assist them in the application and appeal process.
