Renew hopes to resume housing assistance program soon

GRANT COUNTY — Grant County behavioral health provider Renew is hoping to take referrals again in the near future for its housing assistance program, after having to limit its new cases since January due to an overload of clients, according to LaVyonne Barnes, who supervises the program. Barnes stated that the program, which is an arm of Amerigroup’s state-wide Foundational Community Supports program, is vital to Renew’s behavioral health treatment efforts and to servicing the large number of clients struggling with a lack of housing. “We love the FCS program being part of Renew because we believe in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, meaning it’s hard for a client to address their mental health if they don’t even have their basic needs met.”
