(TVHC), a non-profit community health center in Hayward, California. The grant will fund TVHC's expansion of behavioral health and substance use disorder services to serve their patient population, which is 96% living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level and 72% identifying as Latinx. Key services to be provided include increasing staffing capacity with an additional clinical social worker, nurse practitioner, and care coordinators, as well as enhancing data collection and analysis to better understand and address the community's behavioral health needs. The grant aims to help TVHC address a current waiting list of 250 patients for therapy and over 200-300 new monthly referrals, with the majority being Spanish-speaking patients.
