The Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) was awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant on December 1, 2024 under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Grants for New and Expanded Services Under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.527) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The grant will fund BHCHP's initiative to innovate and expand its existing prison re-entry services to more comprehensively address the critical health needs of individuals exiting incarceration who are also experiencing homelessness. Key activities include bridging incarcerated adults within 90 days of release to community-based healthcare and intensive case management services, in collaboration with non-profit partners working to alleviate housing insecurity and financial strain. BHCHP aims to leverage its expertise in providing comprehensive care to underserved homeless populations in the Boston area to improve health outcomes and reduce mortality risks for this high-need population transitioning from incarceration.
