Project Description

Health Care for the Homeless of Milwaukee (HCHM), provides directly and/or subcontracts for services for medical, dental, mental health, substance abuse, emergency housing, crisis intervention, prenatal care coordination, case management/protective payee, outreach, and advocacy. HCHM also provides HIV/AIDS prevention, testing, counseling, and residential services.

HCHM provides a nationally-recognized street outreach program providing meals, tracking, transportation, and referrals to needed services. The program has been expanded to include intervention for custodial parents and children at a living site as a diversion to shelter placement. Direct services include mental health, case management for persons with severe and persistent mental illness, victims of domestic violence, and persons with HIV/AIDS, protective payee assistance, prenatal care coordination, transitional housing for adults living with persons with HIV, substance abuse counseling, and primary care subcontracted at five locations.

HCHM has a presence at 23 locations throughout the Metropolitan area, including five HCHM-supported clinics. This model allows service coordination and access to pharmacies, laboratories, radiology, and specialists. Case managers/protective payee workers and medical social workers provide services in 13 sites. HCHM participates in the City of Milwaukee “Immunization 2000 Program,” and the Wisconsin “Healthy Start” and “Healthy Check” programs. Coordination of services is enhanced through participation in the Milwaukee County Shelter Task Force, which has developed a community-wide Continuum of Care process. Linkages are also with Wisconsin Primary Health Care Association, National HCH Council, Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division, Milwaukee County Adult Services Division, Milwaukee County Housing Division, AIDS Resource Center/Wisconsin, Black Health Coalition, Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, and Wisconsin Primary Care Organization.
