Project Description
Serving the Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem for nearly two decades, Harlem United has been providing housing, health care, and related services to primarily African American and Hispanic people living with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with homelessness, poverty, substance abuse, and / or mental illness. The Central and East Harlem community districts face some of the highest rates of mortality, poverty, and unemployment in New York City, and experience some of the highest homelessness rates within the borough of Manhattan. The homeless population's health status is disproportionately poor when compared to the general population, particularly for chronic and communicable diseases. Since 2007 Harlem United operates a Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) Program targeting the homeless populations of Central and East Harlem and the surrounding areas regardless of their HIV status.
Services
To increase access and eliminate barriers to care, the HCH Program
will operate during daytime, evening, and weekend hours, and will employ
culturally and linguistically appropriate staff. Most importantly, the HCH
Program will operate a comprehensive coordinated, high-level quality medical
care program within a system that fully engages the targeted individuals into medical care, while also integrating clients into a wide realm of supportive
services. The HCH Program will operate out of two sites: 123-125 West 124th
Street and 179 East 116th Street. The scope of services will be responsive to
the specific needs of the homeless population, and will include preventive
health services, management of chronic conditions, mental health, substance
use, and dental services, referrals, outreach utilizing a Lay Health Promoter
approach, and intensive case management.

Project Description
The New York Children's Health Project (NYCHP), a program of Community Pediatric Programs of The Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine, offers homeless families and street youth access to an enhanced medical home at 14 locations throughout New York City. Founded in 1987, NYCHP is one of the original grantees under the McKinney Act.

Women and children from scattered domestic violence shelters and safe homes across New York City are also brought into care at NYCHP sites through a special initiative. Operating out of mobile medical clinics or at on-site clinic space, health care teams consist of pediatric and family medicine providers, nurses, mental health professionals, a nutritionist, and support personnel.
The program's bilingual mental health team,

case management, and entitlements assistance.
Other NYCHP services include nutrition, women's
health care, HIV testing/counseling, subspecialty
referral management, asthma treatment, health
education, and a pediatric early literacy program.
The NYCHP provides pharmacy services through
accounts maintained at selected local pharmacies
and covers the cost of medications not covered
by Medicaid. Patients can reach NYCHP medical
providers 24 hours a day, seven days a week
through a toll-free number. The NYCHP's state-of-the-art
computerized electronic health records system
allows the program to serve its highly transient
patient population using wireless hand held
tablet computers at mobile medical units and
shelter clinic sites across the city.
