Eastpointe

Eastpointe, doing business as Eastpointe Human Services, is a U.S. local government entity based in Beulaville, North Carolina that coordinates the delivery of publicly-funded behavioral healthcare and intellectual/developmental disabilities services in its catchment area. As a county-level local managed entity/managed care organization (LME/MCO), Eastpointe has been a major recipient of federal grant funding since 2019, primarily through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program. These project grants enable Eastpointe to provide housing assistance and support services aimed at quickly sheltering homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and displacement. The organization leverages this federal funding to address homelessness and deliver a range of related support services in its designated service area.

Through its prime federal grant awards, Eastpointe implements comprehensive homelessness prevention and intervention programs, including rapid rehousing, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. Additionally, as a sub-grantee for several federal grant programs administered by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Eastpointe utilizes funding from sources such as the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grants, State Opioid Response grants, and COVID-19 relief funds. These sub-awards support a wide array of services, including disaster behavioral health response, prescription drug/opioid overdose prevention, crisis respite for youth, re-entry coordination for individuals with serious mental illness leaving correctional facilities, substance abuse treatment and recovery support, and COVID-19 mitigation efforts in behavioral health settings. Eastpointe's diverse portfolio of federal grant-funded activities demonstrates its critical role in delivering comprehensive behavioral health, housing, and social services to vulnerable populations in its community.
