Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
FY 2024 Behavioral Health Service Expansion - Spring Branch Community Health Center (SBCHC), is a nonprofit corporation registered with the Texas Secretary of State, formed in June 2003 for the purposes of providing comprehensive health care services to indigent patients in the Spring Branch, West Houston, and Northwest Houston areas, and specifically, the Medically Underserved Population (MUP).
The SBCHC mission is “to increase the number of healthy families in our community by providing high quality, comprehensive healthcare services”.
SBCHC fulfills this mission by offering an integrated and comprehensive service delivery system for the provision of health care, dental care, and behavioral health services that is client-driven, culturally sensitive, and family-focused.
SBCHC’s target population often face higher rates of mental health issues due to factors such as economic stress, unemployment, inadequate housing, exposure to violence, and limited access to healthcare.
These stressors can contribute to the development or exacerbation of mental health conditions.
SBCHC will create and implement a comprehensive approach to behavioral health services that will remove frequently encountered barriers to accessing mental health services, including lack of insurance coverage, limited transportation options, long wait times for appointments, and shortages of mental health providers in their communities.
SBCHC’s culturally sensitive services impact the beliefs and attitudes towards mental illness held by the target communities while addressing the structural factors such as systemic racism, discrimination, and unequal distribution of resources.
These can result in poorer mental health outcomes for individuals in low-income communities.
SBCHC employs its supportive housing department and other wrap-around social services to help reduce social risk factors such as food insecurity, unstable housing, financial strain, and access to transportation.
SBCHC is strategically positioned to initiate work to increase access to behavioral health services in the MUP in Houston, Harris County Texas.
SBCHC will provide high-impact behavioral health services to the high priority zip codes within its targeted service area.
This behavioral health expansion project will allow SBCHC to significantly increase the number of patients receiving mental health services and SUD services, including those receiving treatment with MOUD.
SBCHC will advance progress on the objectives by implementing a comprehensive approach to behavioral health services that helps more patients access treatment and recovery and support services that address their underlying needs.
