HIP began in February, and organizers said they hope to be fully staffed by early summer.
All in all, they will add about 18 members including physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, case managers and psychiatrists. For the health side of service, HIP will be partnering with The Children’s Clinic.
During the time that it is funded, officials said they expect to have a maximum of 100 individuals enrolled for services, with 300 total by the end of the three years. Currently, there are about 60 referrals for HIP to get started. “We will start with the list from the vulnerability study (which was mostly downtown), but people with homelessness often move around,” Legere said. “It’s a very specific set of people, so often it takes a while to build a trusting relationship. There is going to be a lot of people we meet who might not want to fully engage with us right away.”

The most vulnerable homeless who will be targeted will include people afflicted with schizophrenia, major depression, affective disorders, diabetes, STDs, hepatitis, AIDS, cardiopulmonary disease, cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illness, chronic pain and arthritis. Anyone who knows of someone who might qualify can call the HIP information and referral line at 285-1330 ext. 266. “It’s completely mobile, so people don’t have to go to a site, we’ll bring all these services to them,” Legere said. “That’s what’s unique for this.”
