Info

Because many of the developmentally disabled live on very meager, fixed incomes, these services mustbe provided with public assistance. During the last decade, voters in Champaign County approved aproperty tax increase to support the creation of a Developmental Disabilities Board. The $.10 rateincrease is expected to generate over $2 million annually for the expansion of services for this population.The new three-person board will determine the service priorities and will decide how the funding will bedivided among the programs available to meet local needs of the developmentally disabled. The servicesthat will benefit from this tax increase include not only residential services, but also comprehensivechildren’s programs, adult day programs, case management and family support, and vocational trainingand employment services for the developmentally disabled population in Champaign County.Persons with Severe Mental IllnessDuring the Community Needs Assessment, more than one in five (22%) households in Champaign Countyreported having experience with mental and emotional disorders. This number is consistent with nationalprevalence data. Applying these statistics to the U.S. Census 2002 population estimate, approximately15,531 individuals in the City of Champaign are affected personally by a mental illness or have lived witha mentally ill person. Many of these may be temporary mental health disorders. Many people experiencemental illness only once and then fully recover. Unfortunately, only about half of those affected bymental illness receive treatment.Mental illness is a general term that refers to a group of illnesses that affect the brain. Mental illness canbe separated into two main categories: depression/anxiety disorders and psychotic illness. Individualsthat are diagnosed with psychotic disorders may be suffering from schizophrenia or bipolar disease.Psychosis affects the brain and cause changes in a person’s thinking, emotions, and behavior. Manyindividuals with severe mental illness require on-going support services and/or supportive housing inorder to live productive lives and function independently.The Community Needs Assessment indicates that one in twelve (8%) participants in the community-widesurvey chose behavioral healthcare as “the biggest problem facing residents of Champaign County” fromthe list of ten topics outlined by the Community Needs Consortium. In the survey conducted amongissue experts and community leaders, this matter was the highest ranking problem out of 18 described bythe Consortium.The Mental Health Center provides in-patient and out-patient services on a sliding fee scale. They alsoprovide prevention and counseling services, as well as vocational and residential treatment. The MentalHealth Center has permanent housing available for 15 individuals at this time with another 14 unitsavailable in the Village or Rantoul under HUD’s Section 811 Program. Two Shelter + Care projectsprovide 48 units of permanent supportive housing for homeless persons with targeted disabilities,including mental illness. All of these units are now leased, and persons with S+C vouchers are lookingfor available apartments. Although there have been increases in the number of permanent supportivehousing units for the mentally ill over the last five years, this continues to be a significant communityneed.For individuals with mental illness who are seeking treatment and are able to live independently,affordable permanent housing which provides a range of supportive services is the best residentialoption. Recent efforts to expand residential treatments have helped to lessen this need. However,prevalence data on mental illness and local data on the needs of the chronically homeless with mentalillness indicates that the demand for additional residential options is still very high.Persons with Alcohol or Drug AddictionsAddiction treatment has been found to be a strong deterrent to chronic homelessness. In a Chicagobasedstudy, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment indicates that 73% of initially homeless clientsNeeds Assessment: Housing and Homelessness 45
entering substance abuse treatment improved their housing situation within 6 months of treatment(Orwin, RG , Scott C.K., and Ariera, C.R., Transitions through Homelessness and Factors that PredictThem). Prairie Center is keenly aware of the need to support clients in the transition from homelessnessto housing. In an evaluation of its supportive housing programs, Prairie Center staff found that theseservices frequently result in positive outcomes for persons undergoing addiction treatments. (AckersonB., Prairie Center ACT Program Evaluation)Prairie Center works closely with local service providers including the Salvation Army and TIMES Center toprovide additional long-term treatment options for clients who have completed intensive residentialprograms. Providing supportive living arrangements can shorten the length of time required forresidential treatment, effectively expanding capacity without increasing beds.Prairie Center’s experience with the use of Assertive Community Treatment models linked to supportivehousing has had positive results. The treatment improves engagement and outcomes for persons withco-occurring disorders. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, providers should considerclients with co-occurring disorders to be the "expectation rather than the exception across all services".In cooperation with the Mental Health Center and Greater Community AIDS Project, Prairie Center will beprovides a Permanent Housing and Assertive Community Treatment (PHACT) program, using grantfunding from HUD’s Supportive Housing Program. The program is specifically designed to meet theneeds of this population with co-occurring disorders (also referred to as dually diagnosed).The goal of the PHACT program is to expand the menu of treatment services available to clients withsubstance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Prairie Center will work with its community partners to buildcollaborative relationships to support clients in supportive permanent housing and transitional programs.Persons Diagnosed with HIV/AIDSAccording to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), there are 141 individuals diagnosed withAIDS living in Champaign County as of January 2005, adding to total of 263 cumulative cases since IDPHbegan keeping these records in 1981. Also, there were 115 reported cases of individuals being HIVpositive. Carle Hospital is the main health services provider in the region, and partners with the IDPH,Prairie Center, the Mental Health Center, and the Greater Community AIDS Project (GCAP) to provideintensive case management to persons with HIV and AIDS.Greater Community AIDS Project (GCAP) provides support for individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Itoffers food assistance, support groups and volunteer assistance, as well as five units of transitionalhousing for persons with AIDS. Persons can stay at Champaign House (GCAP’s transitional housingfacility) and receive supportive services until their condition stabilizes and they can return to independentliving. The Salvation Army Steppingstone Shelter and TIMES Center often house homeless men with HIVbut case management services are often provided by other agencies.The greatest needs of this population include affordable permanent housing with supportive services,utility bill assistance, affordable medical insurance, dental care, legal assistance, and transportation tomedical care.Persons with Dual Diagnosis (Mental Illness, HIV/AIDS, and/or Substance Abuse)Supportive services designed specifically to support individuals with two or more targeted disabilities,such as mental illness, HIV/AIDS, and substance dependency, are rare in this community. The MentalHealth Center provides limited residential space for individuals suffering from mental illness. PrairieCenter provides services for persons with substance abuse by providing a residential treatment program.GCAP provides services to persons with HIV/AIDS. All of these agencies agree that individuals sufferingwith two or more of these diagnoses are the most difficult to house and treat. Many treatment programsonly address one specific disability.
