ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The City of Albuquerque is introducing a new streamlined process called Unite Us to help get social services out to the people who need them.
It’s an online platform that connects health providers across the city to better keep track of patients who are receiving care from multiple services including the homeless population. “So whenever somebody starts with a certain provider, say they need certain behavioral health services. Then they could be referred to a behavioral health expert who can provide them with their services, while also being able to track that progress. So before there was not really a streamlined continuum of care for this,” said Connor Woods, City of Albuquerque Health Housing, & Homelessness Department.
Health, behavior, and social service providers were invited to Thursday morning’s event to get more organizations signed on to the program.
