Common use of Proposed Program Clause in Contracts

Proposed Program. The I.M. Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless, Inc. has provided holistic health care since opening its doors in 1995 and is the only shelter in Northeast Florida, and one of the few shelters in the state, that operates a full-service Federally Qualified Healthcare Clinic. Sulzbacher follows a comprehensive, continuum of care approach to services and from its inception, has partnered with local community providers to offer on-site user-friendly medical and mental healthcare and support services. By contracting with community agencies such as Gateway Community Services which provides substance abuse treatment on our site and Goodwill who provides employment placement on our site and providing our own extensive mental health and psychiatric services, the Center excels at providing a seamless flow of services to patients in one central location. These contracted services are already being paid for by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and should be considered a match to this program. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has successfully referred patients through We Care for diagnostic treatment, medical services and surgery to Baptist Health, St. Vincent’s Hospital, Mayo Clinic, and others. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ works with the Community Asthma Project, Lutheran Social Services AIDS Care and Education Project, Rainbow Clinic of UF Health, as well as Gateway Community Services, River Region Human Services and Goodwill Industries. Additionally, Sulzbacher has served as a training site for numerous medical residents from the University of Florida. Residents include dentists, nurses, psychiatrists and doctors. Sulzbacher directly links HIV+ homeless persons to the Boulevard Comprehensive Care Center (BCCC) HIV/AIDS medical services and the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Clinic. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has an informal arrangement with the City of Jacksonville ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Title I Office to provide dental care for HIV+ patients who were experiencing difficulty in accessing dental care. With the origination of the CHOP program, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has now formed a strong collaboration with the Jacksonville ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Office, the State Attorney’s Office, the Public Defender’s Office, Duval County Judges and the Jacksonville Housing Authority for the identification, treatment and placement of chronically homeless offenders. We propose to do the same for mentally ill repeat misdemeanor offenders. Sulzbacher seeks funding in the amount of $350,000 for the employment of a full-time Psychiatric Nurse, part-time Doctor of Psychiatry, 2 full-time Intensive Case Managers, a Peer Support specialist and a SOAR Processor for the provision of services in support of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s partnership with the Jacksonville ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Office (JSO), the 4th Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office (SAO), the Duval County Public Defender’s Office (PDO), the Duval County Judges, Lutheran Services of Florida and the Jacksonville Housing Authority (JHA). MHOP will address the most severe mentally ill patients most of whom are homeless, a population who require intensive medical and case management support; however, as this RFP will demonstrate, the public will realize a substantial cost/benefit from its success.
