Housing, Healthcare, and Hope

The Housing, Healthcare, and Hope (HHH) program bridges healthcare and housing for individuals who are experiencing homelessness or are housing insecure. WGMC provides participants with case management, care coordination, tenant-based rental assistance, medical respite, shelter referrals, and street outreach and emergency provisions for unsheltered community members. The program addresses a critical intersection of the social determinants of health that contribute to cyclical housing insecurity, poverty, and poor health outcomes.

Charles was referred to us when he was staying in a shelter. He has successfully been placed into transitional housing with the assistance of community organizations. WGMC works one-on-one with Charles to help him overcome the barriers he faces in relation to access to healthcare. We facilitate transportation to medical visits, assistance with scheduling appointments, and aid in navigating health insurance. When Charles needed a tablet to communicate with our care coordinators, healthcare providers, and supportive friends and family, we ensured he had access to one. Charles now has a medical home and access to medication for his severe arthritis.  This program has allowed Charles to get back on his feet while getting his chronic conditions under control.
