97% of individuals with stable housing were able to successfully maintain it throughoutthe year.LHC assisted 44 unhoused individuals in obtaining supportive housing. While the agency’s overall employment rate has dropped to 8%, 46% of those enrolled inSupported Employment obtained employment. 92% of participants enrolled experienced no mental health inpatient hospital stays 86% did not utilize the emergency department for mental health concerns.  

Friends and Colleagues,This is the time of year where we take a moment to evaluate our successes over the pastyear and identify areas where we can improve. This year, we have accomplished a number ofkey initiatives through expanded community partnerships and new services at LHC. In the past year, LHC has added multiple partnerships with community agencies. WithWillamette Family Treatment, we are now able to offer primary care services at LHC once aweek.  With PeaceHealth, we offered four medical transition beds for individuals that are un-housed and in need of a safe environment to complete the healing process after (physical)hospital discharge and to connect with community resources for ongoing assistance. Withthe Human Services Commission (HSC), we are providing street outreach services for theFUSE (Frequent User Engagement System) program. After arranging on-site hours for physical health care, LHC now offers walk-in care and pre-scheduled medical appointments. We have made internal changes to improve access forparticipants by creating a direct referral system for behavioral and physical health careprofessionals in addition to walk in we have successfully implemented a Home andCommunity Based Services team offering intensive personal care services to assistindividuals with learning or improving their ability to successfully complete activities neededfor independent living.  Outcomes for the 835 individuals served this year remain positive 

Over the next year, LHC will continue to explore new opportunities and partnerships thatfocus on our mission of helping individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness to live,learn, and work in the community.  This includes a focus on adding evidence-based practicesto our service delivery, seeking additional housing resources, and expanding opportunitiesfor financial empowerment and community integration. As you read this annual report, Ihope you will both take inspiration from the individuals in our community who have madeexceptional strides in their personal recovery, as well as continue to advocate for those whorequire our community’s support and additional resources on their journey to recovery.  Forthose of you who have committed time and energy to the success of this organization, Ithank you. For the many of you who are new, I welcome you to a growing group ofcommunity members that believe mental health recovery is possible for everyone. Sincerely,

LAUREL HILL CENTER | 2019 REPORT

Eugene Winters had been homeless off and has now been working with FUSE forabout a year and happily, he has been housed.  Prior to engaging with FUSE,Eugene hadn't seen his PCP in years or received any kind of consistent treatmentfor his behavioral health needs.  Eugene agreed to work with the FUSE team abouta year ago.  Despite the ups and downs of the past year, Eugene has maintained ahigh spirit and an appreciation for those that have always come back to help. We're excited to report, that together Eugene and the FUSE team have successfullyworked with other community providers such as ShelterCare and WillametteFamily Treatment to help him get housing and re-engage in medical and behavioralhealth services.  Eugene decided that he would remain with Laurel Hill Center forsome of his ongoing services and has started to transition from the FUSE programto CSS and medication management.  As with FUSE, his new team will work closelywith Eugene to create and maintain a treatment and recovery plan that can workfor him.Eugene is just one of the success stories that FUSE were able to celebratein the past year.  In partnership with SAMHSA and Lane County Human ServicesDivision, that the next five years will include many more success stories such asEugene.

FUSE Street Outreach works with homelessindividuals who frequently use costlyservices, such as Emergency Departments,jails, courts, and other crisis services. Manyof the individuals on the FUSE list alsostruggle with complex medical issues,behavioral health challenges, and substanceuse disorders. Our goal is to help eachperson get set up with individualizedcommunity support services to helpimprove their overall quality of life, whilesetting them up to be successful and able tomaintain housing. One individual from theFUSE program has come a long way andwould love to share his success story.
