SUPPORTING TREATMENT ACCESS AND RECOVERY FOR HOMELESSNESS (STAR-H) - INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS WITH CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (COD) OFTEN HAVE SUBSTANTIAL CHALLENGES OBTAINING AND MAINTAINING HOUSING AND HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE WRAPAROUND SERVICES. THIS PROJECT PROPOSES TO DEVELOP THE SUPPORTING TREATMENT ACCESS AND RECOVERY FOR HOMELESSNESS (STAR-H) PROGRAM TO FILL THIS GAP. STAR-H WILL OFFER SPECIALIZED HOUSING SUPPORT AND WRAPAROUND SERVICES TO 175 INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS AND HAVE A COD IN THE SPRINGFIELD METRO AREA OF MASSACHUSETTS. THIS REGION HAS LIMITED FUNDING FOR HOMELESS SERVICES, FEW BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES, AND DISPROPORTIONATELY SUFFERED FROM THE PANDEMIC AND THE ECONOMY. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NETWORK, A CLINICAL PROVIDER IN THE REGION, AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IN SPRINGFIELD BOTH COLLABORATE ON CO-CHAIRING THE REGIONAL NETWORK HUB (HUB). THE HUB TRACKS A "BY NAME LIST" OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS AND CONVENES A WEEKLY MEETING WITH LOCAL CONTINUUMS OF CARE FOR HOUSING VOUCHERS AND LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR CLIENT REFERRALS. HOWEVER, NEITHER HOUSING FIRST NOR INTENSIVE WRAPROUND SUPPORTS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE HUB, AND THE COMMUNITY PROVIDERS ARE PLAGUED WITH SERVICE DELAYS. THEREFORE, THE STAR-H PROGRAM PROPOSES TO FILL THIS GAP BY HIRING 1.75 CASE MANAGERS, 1.75 PEERS SUPPORT SPECIALISTS, AND A .15 NURSE PRACTITIONER. THE NEWLY HIRED CASE MANAGERS AND PEER SUPPORT SPECIALISTS WILL ATTEND HUB MEETINGS FOR REFERRALS AND DELIVER REAL-TIME HOUSING FIRST AND MAINTAINING INDEPENDENCE AND SOBRIETY THROUGH SYSTEMS INTEGRATION, OUTREACH, AND NETWORKING (MISSION) WRAPAROUND SERVICES. MISSION IS A MULTICOMPONENT INTERVENTION THAT SYSTEMATICALLY COMBINES HOUSING FIRST, CRITICAL TIME INTERVENTION, INTEGRATED MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT, PEER SUPPORT, VOCATIONAL SUPPORT, TRAUMA INFORMED CARE, AND SUPPORTS CLIENTS WITH COD MEDICATION NEEDS. BOTH HOUSING FIRST AND MISSION HAVE EXTENSIVE EVIDENCE, AND IN 2016, MISSION WAS LISTED IN THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE ADMINISTRATION-NATIONAL REGISTRY FOR EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES (SAMHSA-NREPP). IN THIS PROPOSED PROJECT, THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS CHAN MEDICAL SCHOOL WILL BE THE LOCAL LEAD AGENCY AND EVALUATOR, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NETWORK WILL BE THE CLINICAL PROVIDER. THE 175 INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HOMELESS WITH A COD AND SERVED IN THE STAR-H PROGRAM (YEAR 1=35, YEAR 2=35, YEAR 3=35, YEAR 4=35, YEAR 5=35) WILL RECEIVE A RAPID ASSESSMENT, 12-MONTHS OF HOUSING SUPPORT, AND CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE MISSION COD TREATMENT AND WRAPAROUND SERVICES. MISSION WRAPAROUND SUPPORTS WILL ALSO INCLUDE KEY LINKAGES TO COMMUNITY-BASED, STATE, AND FEDERAL MAINSTREAM BENEFIT PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE MASSHEALTH (STATE MEDICAID AUTHORITY), AND THE STATE DEPARTMENTS OF MENTAL HEALTH AND PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES. THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO PRIORITIZE HISPANIC/LATINX AND BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNDERREPRESENTED AND UNDERSERVED. WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE 175 CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS WITH A COD WHO RECEIVE STAR-H SERVICES WILL HAVE: 1. FEWER DAYS HOMELESS; 2. FEWER DAYS OF SUBSTANCE USE; 3. IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS AND FUNCTIONING; AND 4. GREATER LINKAGE TO CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE SERVICES. THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH SIGNIFICANT INPUT FROM LOCAL AND STATE AGENCIES, PROVIDERS, PEOPLE WITH COD, AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MASSACHUSETTS' PLAN TO END HOMELESSNESS.
