Texas Health and Human Services Commission has committed $1.9 million to support homeless services, including expanding shelter services and shelter redesign, increasing access to mental health and substance use services for families experiencing homelessness, and supporting clinic operations and the expansion of housing services at Terrace at Oak Springs. Set to open in summer 2019, this new permanent supportive housing community includes 50 fully furnished, single occupancy efficiency apartments and an onsite integrated health care clinic – 3000 Oak Springs Clinic. Features include onsite staffing 24 hours a day, onsite laundry facility, outdoor green space, community room with library, computers, and internal and external security cameras. Terrace at Oak Springs is modeled after other successful programs across the country and the first of its kind in Central Texas.

The 3000 Oak Springs location provides integrated primary health care and mental health care to residents of the apartment community. Services include counseling and case management, drug and alcohol treatment, exercise and nutrition programs, medication management and support, employment services, and assistance accessing benefits. Clinic services are also available to adults in the community who are eligible for Integral Care services. The clinic will be open 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, and will offer scheduled appointments and a limited number of walk-in appointments. Community members will be able to access clinic services through the same intake and assessment process that Integral Care uses for all of its services.
