This federal Project Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Grants for New and Expanded Services Under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.527) provides $1,000,000 to Camcare Health Corporation, a non-profit health center in Camden, New Jersey, to enhance healthcare access and continuity for justice-involved individuals reentering the community.
The comprehensive program design incorporates three primary evidence-based models: the Integrated Care Model, Peer Navigation Model, and Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Screening Tool. These models initiate extensive self-assessments and interventions 90 days prior to release, ensuring early and continuous access to care. The project aims to improve overall health, manage chronic conditions, reduce overdose risk, and address mental health and substance use disorders, as well as tackle social needs like housing, food insecurity, financial strain, and transportation barriers. The award period runs from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2026.
