Detroit-Wayne County Partnerships for Integrated Care & Health Project
Detroit, MI

To improve health for individuals with severe, persistent mental illness who live in adult foster care homes, a mental health services provider will partner with a Medicaid managed care plan, a community health center, 40 foster home proprietors and a food bank. Together they will address some of the conditions that are complicated by severe mental illness such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A multi-disciplinary health care team will visit the group homes, including a peer counselor to help clients develop diet and exercise plans. The local food bank will deliver fresh produce and teach cooking and nutrition classes for residents and staff, and plans include the establishment of new food-buying cooperatives by the adult foster care home owners.
