CLEVELAND, Ohio – A series of well-timed grants is allowing Care Alliance Health Center and other agencies to raise the scope and level of available mental health services, continuing the work launched three years ago with a sizable federal award. This fall, a van staffed by clinicians will begin visiting eight permanent supportive housing sites on a regular basis to provide mental health services. In addition, clinicians will be able to increase the amount of time they spend at men’s and women’s shelters, tending to the mental health needs of those residents. Making this extra outreach possible are three grants from the Ohio Housing Agency, United Way and the Affordable Care Act totaling nearly $1 million, and the close collaboration of several agencies focused on providing care to the poor, homeless and uninsured.
