JPS Health Network in Ft. Worth, Texas, partners with the Salvation Army for the Tarrant County Pathways to Housing program. The program supports medically vulnerable homeless patients by providing permanent housing rental assistance, long-term comprehensive case management, with medical and supportive services in scattered site apartments within Tarrant County. Eligible patients are high utilizers of local emergency rooms who are experiencing homelessness, medical and behavioral health challenges. Care Connections for the Homeless team provides outreach based medical care and medical case management. This medical team works in collaboration with The Salvation Army housing case managers to identify and engage program participants. Amerigroup, as the largest provider of Medicaid services in the Tarrant County area, also serves as a partner in the project to augment behavioral health supportive services and care coordination for clients.
