PCHC's Community Clinic Project
Bangor, ME

To meet the mental health and substance abuse treatment needs of people at risk of losing their housing and of those already without homes, this Penobscot Community Health Center will assemble a new team of psychiatric and medical professionals to bring these services directly to three shelters and a soup kitchen. Knowing one's housing is tenuous or living without a home can create serious psychological pressure, yet many struggling families cannot easily find or afford behavioral health services or substance abuse treatment when needed. The project staff will use an evidence-based framework to integrate medical and mental health care and employ electronic record keeping to coordinate care for this transient population. Another goal of the project is to capture their experience and utilize a thorough evaluation to enable other community health centers across the country to replicate the program.
