Healthcare Committee Description  
The Healthcare Committee advocates for the homeless population to receive access to healthcare.
2011-2012 Healthcare Committee Goals
  • Clients entering into transitional housing (ForKids, Next Step, Hope Center, etc…) will have access to an eye exam, dental exam, and medical exam through NHC agency programs as part of their case management and assessment of barriers.

  • All children ages 6 months to 6 years entered into one of our agencies will have access to preventative eye exams as part of an initiative to improve entry into schools.

  • Continue to regularly evaluate our healthcare for the homeless programs, while ensuring access to Mental Health/ Substance Abuse services through strengthened relationships with Norfolk CSB.

  • Develop a Prospective annual calendar of healthcare events; a picture of planned weekly/monthly/quarterly homeless health services complete with anticipated numbers to be served, locations, procedures and requirements.
