Programs described in its return (1)
- $59,996 spent. Outreach Therapy currently has one grant-funded program, in which it established direct service delivery by an occupational therapist in Pittsburgh, PA. During FY 2024, it served 20 individual clients providing weekly or twice-weekly community based occupational therapy services. These services focused on physical, cognitive and psychosocial rehabilitation for people experiencing homelessness to improve their health, well-being, and skill development to transition out of homelessness and into housing. Expenses of the program supported occupational therapist salary, administrative expenses of clinical services (e.g electronic medical record), and clinical supplies for therapy interventions. The assertive community outreach model required additional time and effort to meet with patients without stable housing in the community, and collaborate with referrring physicians and social service workers. The short-term goal of this program is t oestablish feasibility of OT care delivery to people experincing homelessness, with long-term goals of improving housing retention rates, for future expansion of the capacity OF OT services delivery through new future programs such as group programming. to people experiencing and exiting homelessness by meeting patients where they are, such as on the street, shelters, or in housing. Occupational therapy services help individuals enhance function in everyday life and self-care skills, social participation, and environmental adaptation to promote optimal well being. The Corporation shall not be conducted or operated for profit, and no part of the net earnings of the Corporation shall inure to the benefit of any indivdual, nor shall any of the profits or assets of the Corporation be used other than for thepurposes of the Corporation.
