Key Points about ACH Model and Change • Mission of UCC includes “well Housed” • UCC Voted and approved a Charter and Mission – but no real buy-in at first • Initially, implementations strategies were with clinical organizations and efforts were linear or only between two organizations • March of 2018 - March of 2019 the UCC group did a bit of storming and norming by: • Establishing Clinical and Human Service Co- chairs • Extending time of the meetings to 1.5 hours • Establishing a steering committee to create action and continuity when a new idea, funding or project came along
Summary • Having a supportive leadership group at UCC/ACH helps • ACH model allows for sharing of community projects through regular communication among diverse organizations with resources to drive change. • With the help of multiple organizations along the path, including churches, synagogues, government agencies, primary care medical homes, law enforcement, Community Health Team members, mental health agencies, community volunteers, and a committed hospital – small but tangible steps happen to build a healthy communities.
