This $600,000 federal Project Grant award from the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Community Health Centers (CFDA 93.224) program will support Detroit Community Health Connection, Inc. (DCHC), a federally qualified health center (FQHC) serving the Detroit, Michigan area, to establish an internal behavioral healthcare program. DCHC will use the funding to hire a multidisciplinary team, including a MAT-certified physician, advanced practice provider, licensed social workers, a case manager, a community health worker, and a behavioral health nurse. This team will rotate through five of DCHC's locations to provide accessible, affordable, and culturally appropriate mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) services to DCHC's patient population, 96.86% of whom are at or below 100% of the federal poverty level. The grant will allow DCHC to increase the provision of behavioral healthcare, which has been limited to 10.09% of total FQHC services in Michigan, and connect patients to necessary SUD treatment, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
