COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCES INC

CHR provides an extensive array of in-home and community-based services to children, families, and adults with behavioral health needs, including substance use disorders. This includes a variety of case management, outreach, and 24/7 crisis intervention services in various community settings including homes, workplaces, schools, and public areas. We collaborate closely with local resources, including innovative partnerships with local Police Departments and providing life-saving substance use treatments in six CT prisons. Nearly 6,600 persons were served with 64% reporting a favorable outcome including achievement of their treatment goals, return to families or their communities, continuing employment or the stabilization of an acute event. 98% were diverted from incarceration and connected to needed mental health services.

CHR provides residential and housing services to children, adults, and families in need. CHR focuses on promoting growth and development through supportive and empowering residential programs, including supportive housing and innovative models such as an apartment building for young adults who have experienced homelessness and homeless outreach programs to identify unsheltered individuals in the community and link them with housing and support services. Recent client satisfaction data shows that 100% of adults who received housing services reported that CHR treated them with dignity and respect. Similarly, 100% of individuals reported that CHR's housing staff was always available to them. Services were provided to 719 individuals, generally on a long-term basis. Of these 53% either obtained permanent stable housing or were able to return to live with their families. 37 persons were served in six therapeutic group homes avoiding their admission to state or private hospital facilities, a much more expensive and less effective setting. 86% avoided admission to long-term hospitalization or residential care.
