The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224) to Multnomah County, a local government entity in Oregon, to expand behavioral health services and medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorders at the county's mobile health clinic, "Wheely McHealy".
The grant funding will support hiring a mental health provider and case manager to integrate behavioral health services into the mobile clinic's existing primary and dental care offerings. This will allow the clinic to increase patient capacity by an additional 300 individuals, primarily targeting underserved populations such as those experiencing homelessness or residing in transitional housing. The mobile clinic team will also distribute Narcan and provide harm reduction education to registered patients. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026.
