VOA spokane tieh - project name: VOA spokane tieh strategies and population to be served: volunteers of america eastern washington & northern idaho (VOA spokane) is one of the largest housing providers in the project catchment area in spokane county, washington state. In the tieh project, we will build on our recent roll-out of an innovative certified community behavioral health clinic (ccbhc) model to provide treatment for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), serious emotional disturbance (SED), or CO-occurring disorders (COD) who are also unhoused. Over the 5-year implementation period, our project will purposefully enroll 900 young adults and women into low barrier, comprehensive treatment services, integrated at two VOA shelters, hope house for women and our young adult shelter. We selected these entry points for tieh services because young adults and women in our service area who are homeless face unique disparities related SMI, SED, COD, disabilities, and family violence. Project goals and measurable objectives: our project will achieve goals and objectives as follows: goal 1: tieh participants obtain and retain permanent housing. Objective 1.1: within 6 months of enrollment in tieh services, 75% of program participants obtain housing. Objective 1.2: of VOA participants who have obtained housing, at least 90% will maintain housing for 6 months. Goal 2: tieh participants experience whole-person health that encompasses physical and behavioral wellbeing. Objective 2.1: within 1 month of enrollment in tieh, 85% of program participants who are assessed to have unmet mental health needs will have engaged with and enrolled in behavioral health services. Objective 2.2: within 6 months of enrollment in tieh, 75% of program participants who are assessed as having a COD and completed an asam assessment will have engaged in SUD treatment. Objective 2.3: within 6 months of enrollment in tieh, 85% of program participants who are assessed to have unmet medical needs and do not have a primary medical provider will have enrolled in primary care. Objective 2.4: within 6 months of enrollment, 90% of participants who do no have medical insurance will have enrolled in medicaid. Number of people to be served: VOA spokane tieh will reach 180 unduplicated participants per year, or 900 unduplicated people over the 5-year implementation period.
