Since 2001, Health Care Center for the Homeless (HCCH) has been providing homeless outreach in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola county through the H.O.P.E. Team (Homeless Outreach Partnership Effort).
For many reasons, some people in our community unfortunately experience homelessness and are in desperate need of services. Often, they may not seek out or know where to find services that can assist them out of homelessness. Becoming homeless for any length of time is a traumatic event, and can negatively impact mental, physical, and social health. This is where homeless outreach is vital.

Kate’s Place is a Clubhouse program that was established to support individuals living with the effects of mental illness and co-occurring disorders. Participants are members, not clients, patients or consumers. Members work side by side in operating and accomplishing the goals of the Clubhouse. Kate’s Place is a restorative environment for people with mental illness and co-occurring disorders. It focuses on wellness, personal talents, skills, and abilities, not a person’s illness. Members are able to build confidence and self-esteem through meaningful work within the Clubhouse and through employment programs that allow members to become gainfully employed through Temporary Employment Program (TEP) opportunities or Supportive Employment, with as much hands-on support from Clubhouse staff as needed. In addition, a variety of social activities are planned by members and staff to encourage relationships and healthy ways to have fun outside of work hours.
