Kaiser Permanente and PeaceHealth are jointly con- tributing more than $590,000 to ShelterCare for the creation of a transitional housing pro- gram that will provide emer- gency, short-term housing to Lane County residents who are homeless and battling severe mental illness or med- ical conditions. The funds will help ShelterCare transition partici- pants to affordable, permanent housing within six months to a year and address root causes of homelessness by providing health and social support serv- ices, including mental health services, primary care place- ment, money management training and employment assistance. “We are embarking on this very critical endeavor to meet a very critical need in our community. And, it’s through powerful collaborations such as this that we are to provide bridge housing for this vulner- able population until perma- nent housing can be secured. This is important because safe, affordable housing has been proven to increase opportunities for positive health outcomes,” said Rand O’Leary, chief executive, PeaceHealth Oregon. “This is about access — access to housing, medical care, behav- ioral health support and other services.” “Safe housing is a key determinant of health,” said Imelda Dacones, MD, presi- dent and CEO, Northwest K IWANIS HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON!

ShelterCare, with its proven results of assisting more than 1,200 adults annually with severe mental illness or med- ical conditions, is uniquely suited to address the housing and support needs of the com- munity. More than 70 percent of families facing homelessness who complete ShelterCare’s and non-profit service partners have passionately and collabo- ratively worked to end home- lessness for nearly three decades,” said Susan Ban, executive director of ShelterCare. “In spite of the social and economic factors that fuel a growing homeless- ness crisis, our community has made progress and hosts sev- eral exciting models that work. In just the past year, our shared embrace of yet another new approach demonstrated improved housing outcomes while measuring a significant cost savings to the communi- ty.” This Kaiser Permanente — PeaceHealth grant will facili- tate a new leap forward toward even greater successes by providing additional hous- ing for people with severe mental illnesses or medical conditions. The grant will act as a bridge to permanent sup- portive housing. “Accessing housing is the S EE ’ S C ANDY gone.

As part of this initiative, Kaiser Permanente and PeaceHealth will work closely with ShelterCare and other community agencies to devel- op a plan to collaboratively address longer-term transi- tional housing needs in Lane County. The initiative with ShelterCare is the first of sev- eral planned community health initiatives by Kaiser Permanente and PeaceHealth. In November, the two organizations announced a collaboration to increase access to care and improve health in Lane County. Other focus areas include access to dental care for peo- ple in need, strengthening school-based health centers, and workforce development efforts to support community health workers. More community health ini- tiatives supporting Lane County nonprofits will be announced in the coming months. Founded in 1970, ShelterCare is a private, non- profit human-services agency directed by a board of commu- nity volunteers. It offers a range of housing solutions combined with support servic- es for vulnerable community members who are homeless or on the verge of homelessness. The organization works to ensure everyone has access to stable, affordable housing and the support to live as fully and independently as possible. Prevention, outreach and housing services are comple- mented by behavioral health services and social service case management support to promote housing stability and personal well-being.
