Project Grant T3555552

Honor Community Health (operating as Oakland Integrated Healthcare Network) received a $500,000 Project Grant awarded July 1, 2026, through the Primary Care Training and Enhancement (CFDA 93.884) program, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Health Professionals. The five-year award (through June 30, 2031) supports the establishment of a street medicine rotation within Honor Community Health's 6-6-6 family medicine residency program in Pontiac, Michigan. This initiative delivers integrated mobile medical, dental, and mental health services to individuals experiencing homelessness in Oakland County, with resident physicians trained to provide trauma-informed, community-oriented care that incorporates Psychosocial Risk Assessment Procedure and Readiness to Engage (PRAPARE) and Adverse Childhood Experience (ACEs) screenings alongside wraparound social services including housing and food assistance.

The program addresses critical healthcare gaps in a region where children represent 37% of the local homeless population and Honor Community Health has served over 1,600 unhoused patients annually. By equipping resident physicians with street medicine competencies and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, the training initiative aims to reduce emergency department utilization and improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations while expanding the primary care workforce's capacity to serve medically underserved communities.
