THE EXPANSION OF RTI WILL INCLUDE A NEW EDUCATIONAL TRACK OPTION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHW) IN THE METROPOLITAN DETROIT AREA. THE POPULATION IN DETROIT IS PREDOMINANTLY BLACK AND HAS HIGHER HEALTH-RELATED RISK FACTORS THAN IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. THIS IS COMPOUNDED BY COVID-19, AS WELL AS THE MULTIPLE AND COMPLEX BARRIERS RESIDENTS FACE IN ACCESSING HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES. TO RESPOND TO THESE CHALLENGES, DRP WILL IMPLEMENT A CHW TRAINING PROGRAM TO FILL THE GAPS IN SERVICE AND LINK THOSE IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES TO CARE IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN. THE CHW TRAINING IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH THAT USES COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH PROMOTION AND PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION AND EMPOWERMENT TO ADDRESS HEALTH ISSUES AND TO IMPACT KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND BEHAVIORS FROM WITHIN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. THE PROPOSED PROGRAM WILL FOCUS ITS EFFORTS ON THE METROPOLITAN DETROIT AREA, WHERE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES COMMONLY LACK ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY. INDIVIDUALS FROM THESE TARGETED COMMUNITIES WILL BE TRAINED AS CHWS TO CONDUCT OUTREACH, CONNECT INDIVIDUALS TO HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES, AND PROVIDE HEALTH EDUCATION. THE PROGRAM GOALS ARE TO EXPAND THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE BY TRAINING 50 PARTICIPANTS ANNUALLY TO BECOME NEWLY CREDENTIALED CHWS, TOTALING 150 CHWS OVER THE THREE-YEAR GRANT PERIOD; ENHANCE THE CHW CURRICULUM TO INCREASE THE SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES OF EXISTING CHWS AND HEALTH WORKERS; INCREASE CHW AND HEALTH SUPPORT WORKER EMPLOYMENT READINESS THROUGH FIELD PLACEMENTS AND APPRENTICESHIPS; ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY AND SUPPORT FOR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF CHWS.

TRI-CITIES RECOVERY COMMUNITY

THE SQUAD OUTREACH INITIATIVE - THE DETROIT RECOVERY PROJECT (DRP) PROPOSES THE "SQUAD" (SAFE, QUICK, UNDERSTANDING, ACCESSIBLE AND DYNAMIC) OUTREACH INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY-BASED OVERDOSE PREVENTION, SYRINGE SERVICES, AND HARM REDUCTION TO ENHANCE OVERDOSE PREVENTION, REDUCE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) AND PROVIDE A CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITIES AND INDIVIDUALS. THE AREA OF FOCUS FOR THIS INITIATIVE IS THE CITY OF DETROIT, WHICH IS IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN, WITHIN WAYNE COUNTY. THE TARGET POPULATION FOR THIS INITIATIVE IS RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS, PRIMARILY PEOPLE WHO INJECT DRUGS (PWID) AND PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS (PWUD). DRP HAS IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR HARM REDUCTION IN THE TARGET AREA DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING DATA CONFIRMING THE RISK, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND AT-RISK BEHAVIORS OF THE CITY'S RESIDENTS. DETROIT IS THE EPICENTER OF OPIOID OVERDOSE AND FATALITIES IN THE STATE. DETROIT IS ALSO MICHIGAN'S MOST POPULOUS CITY AND THE 4TH POOREST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. IMPACTED BY THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, THE CITY AND ITS RESIDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED HIGH RATES OF POVERTY, JOBLESSNESS, HOMELESSNESS, ADDICTION, CRIME, POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND VERY SLOW RECOVERY. HEALTH DISPARITIES DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT THE COMMUNITY DUE TO POLLUTANTS, SMALL LIVING AREAS, LACK OF TRANSPORTATION, FOOD DESERTS, AND LACK OF HEALTHFUL ACTIVITIES, LEADING TO INCREASED RATES OF ASTHMA, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, OBESITY, DIABETES, AND OTHER CHRONIC ILLNESS. HIGH RATES OF POVERTY, LACK OF RESOURCES, HOUSING, AND TRANSPORTATION PERPETUATE THE SEVERITY OF THESE CHRONIC ILLNESSES. THE SQUAD WILL PROVIDE HYBRID SERVICES AND WILL: 1) INCREASE ACCESS TO HARM REDUCTION SERVICES TO THE TARGET COMMUNITY; 2) INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CASUAL USERS ACCESSING HARM REDUCTION SERVICES; 3) DECREASE THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH HARM REDUCTION SERVICES, AND 5) PREVENT INFECTIOUS DISEASE FOR THE TARGET POPULATION AND INDIVIDUALS AT HIGH-RISK WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE "SQUAD" WILL USE THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES TO IMPLEMENT SERVICES: ANTI-RETROVIRAL TREATMENT AND ACCESS TO SERVICES (ARTAS), WHICH IS AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL, MULTI-SESSION INTERVENTION; POPULAR OPINION LEADERSHIP (POL), TO EDUCATE KEY PARTICIPANTS AND INCREASE DISSEMINATION OF RISK REDUCTION PRACTICES TO PEERS AND SOCIAL NETWORKING STRATEGY (SNS) TO PROMOTE NEW PARTICIPANTS ACCESSING SERVICES AT THE MOBILE OR FIXED LOCATION. THE "SQUAD" WILL MEET THESE GOALS WITH RESPECTIVE OBJECTIVES AND IMPACT THE LIVES OF PROVIDING SERVICE ENCOUNTERS TO 1350 ANNUALLY, PROVIDE 1850 REFERRALS, AND WILL LINK A TOTAL OF 1200 INDIVIDUALS TO CARE FROM THE TARGET POPULATION THROUGH THESE PROVEN, EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES.

DRP HEART - THE POPULATION OF FOCUS FOR THE PROPOSED INITIATIVE IS RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITIES THAT IDENTIFY AS PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS (PWUD) AND THOSE MOST AT-RISK FOR HIV/AIDS OR LIVING WITH HIV, THAT HAVE FALLEN OUT OF CARE, THAT RESIDE IN DETROIT, HIGHLAND PARK, AND HAMTRAMCK AREA. THE PURPOSE OF HEALTH, EMPOWERMENT, ACCEPTANCE, RECOVERY, TREATMENT (HEART) IS TO FURTHER ENGAGE BLACK INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ENTERING SUD/COD SERVICES, OR IDENTITY AS A PERSON WHO USES DRUGS (PWUD) TO INCREASE ACCESS TO HIV TESTING, HIV PREVENTION TOOLS, HIV LINKAGE TO CARE (LTC), AND TO ENSURE LINKAGE AND RETENTION TO SUD/COD SERVICES. GOAL 1: PROVIDE LINKAGE TO SUD/COD TREATMENT AND/OR RECOVERY SERVICES FOR 80% OF PARTICIPANTS MOST AT RISK FOR HIV. GOAL 2: PREVENT: INCREASE ACCESS TO HIV TESTING AND LINKAGE TO CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ACCESSING RECOVERY, AND/OR PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS (PWUD) BY TESTING 625 INDIVIDUALS OVER THE LIFE OF THE GRANT. GOAL 3: DIAGNOSE: USING THE APPROVED DUAL RAPID PROCESS, DRP WILL PROVIDE A SECOND RAPID AB/AG HIV TEST TO CONFIRM THE INDIVIDUAL'S HIV DIAGNOSIS FOR 100% OF ALL PARTICIPANTS THAT RECEIVE AN INITIAL REACTIVE HIV RAPID TEST. GOAL 4: TREAT: ENSURE 100% OF PARTICIPANTS ARE ENGAGED IN HIV CARE WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF DIAGNOSIS OR RE-ENGAGEMENT FOR THOSE THAT HAVE FALLEN OUT OF HIV CARE.

THE DETROIT RECOVERY PROJECT (DRP) PROPOSES A THREE-YEAR INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE QUALITY CONTINUITY OF CARE FOR MEMBERS OF MINORITY POPULATIONS WHO ARE RELEASED FROM CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO REENTER AND REINTEGRATE INTO COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE CITY OF DETROIT.  MICHIGAN HAS SEEN A 40% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS RELEASED ON PAROLE FROM MICHIGAN PRISONS RETURNED TO COMMUNITIES IN MICHIGAN.  WITHIN WAYNE COUNTY, THE MAJORITY (2,962 OR 80%) OF PRISONERS RELEASED TO PAROLE RETURNED TO DETROIT (SOLOMON ET. AL 2004).  IRONICALLY, ALTHOUGH DETROIT RECEIVES THE HIGHEST PROPORTION OF RETURNING INDIVIDUALS IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, IT IS THE LEAST WELL EQUIPPED TO HANDLE RETURNING REINTEGRATION, LESS CONNECTED TO COMMUNITY-BASED STRUCTURES, AND MORE LIKELY TO HAVE MEDICAL, PSYCHIATRIC AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION.  IN FACT, THE PREVALENCE OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASE (HIV/AIDS AND HEPATITIS C, MENTAL ILLNESS AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE ARE INORDINATELY HIGH AMONG THOSE REENTERING DETROIT’S COMMUNITIES.  THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY THIS POPULATION ARE PARTICULARLY ACUTE, AND THE ASSOCIATED SERVICES IN DETROIT FURTHER IMPEDE THE RETURNING PERSON’S ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY REINTEGRATE.  IN ORDER TO IMPROVE POST-RELEASE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MEDICAL STATUS AND REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINUED INVOLVEMENT IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, LINKAGES MUST BE ESTABLISHED FOR THESE REENTRY POPULATIONS TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES, MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND MEDICAL TREATMENT.  TO ACHIEVE THESE AIMS, THE PROPOSED RISE (RECOVERY, INTEGRATION, SUPPORT AND EMPOWERMENT) INITIATIVE WILL PROVIDE PRE AND POST RELEASE SERVICES TO 100 INDIVIDUALS REINTEGRATING DIRECTLY FROM JAIL, PRISON OR INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS.  THE TARGET AREAS ARE THE CITIES OF DETROIT, HIGHLAND PARK AND HAMTRAMCK, ALL LOCATED WITHIN WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.    RISE WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE WAYNE COUNTY JAIL, COURTS OR COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY, CONDUCT PRE-SCREENINGS AND BEGIN RE-ENTRY INTERVENTIONS PRE-RELEASE;  UTILIZE EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SERVICES:  SUBSTANCE ABUSE  TREATMENT (INCLUDING OUTPATIENT AND MAT AS NEEDED); PEER RECOVERY COACHING; RECOVERY SUPPORT; REFERRALS TO INPATIENT TREATMENT; PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SCREENING AND TREATMENT; FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES (PARENT SKILLS, FAMILY REUNIFICATION); CASE MANAGEMENT; COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY; HOUSING SUPPORT; MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING (INDIVIDUAL, GROUP AND FAMILY); EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE (INCLUDING LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION, VOCATIONAL TRAINING, JOB READINESS, PLACEMENT, TRANSPORTATION, ETC.); AND LINKAGE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES/SIGNIFICANT OTHERS TO OTHER ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES.  THIS REENTRY INITIATIVE WILL INCLUDE FORMULATIVE PROCESS AND SHORT-TERM OUTCOME EVALUATIONS TO ASSIST THE PROGRAM IN ACHIEVING ITS SPECIFIC AIMS AND TO DOCUMENT ITS CLINICAL AND SOCIAL EFFECTIVENESS.
