In celebration of National Health Center Week (NHCW) we’d like to offer our deepest gratitude and thanks to all CCC Health Services staff and our internal CCC partners who make our work possible! This year’s theme, ‘Powering Communities Through Caring Connections’ couldn’t be more symbolic of CCC’s work over the last year. President and CEO Andy Mendenhall M.D. highlights a few of CCC’s recent health-related accomplishments: https://bit.ly/4dcbTfP #NHCW24 #ValueCHCs #healthcareservices #healthcareworkers #endhomelessness

I am writing to formally express my deep concerns and dissatisfaction with the services provided by Central  City Concern (CCC) through their community engagement program. My experience has been profoundly disappointing  and has significantly impacted my well-being. Background: I was placed in housing by CCC with no income and no preparation, despite having been homeless for  nearly a decade and struggling with addiction and mental health issues. This lack of preparation has created an  unsustainable living situation, leading to ongoing utility debt of approximately $900. Issues Experienced: Lack of Support and Understanding: I reached out to the supervisor to express my severe depression and  challenges, including the need to sell my valuables and cope with utility debt. Instead of receiving support,  I was met with an ultimatum to sign a behavior contract. My pleas for help were ignored, and the response from  CCC was dismissive and punitive rather than compassionate.
