CPCC has partnered with Denver’s Road Home, federal Supportive Housing services, Denver Sheriff Department and Mental Health Center of Denver to create FUSE, a pilot project that focuses on reentry services for "frequent users" of both shelter and criminal justice systems. The target population includes persons with a serious mental illness and/or co-occurring substance abuse issue who has been incarcerated in Denver County Jail and housed in a Denver shelter more than three times in the last five years. This program begins in the Denver County Jail’s Mental Health Transition Units and provides intensive case management through a high intensity case management model and housing through the Mental Health Center of Denver and Denver’s Road Home to 26 consumers who are re-entering the Denver community. FUSE utilizes a Housing First model which connects clients with their own apartment, and also includes medication monitoring and evaluation, substance abuse and trauma-informed treatment, linkage and coordination with primary care services, group therapy, residential treatment and benefits acquisition and management. FUSE will begin to accept clients in Fall 2011.
