Healthcare for the Homeless

At Harris Health System, we want to make it easier for people experiencing homelessness to access healthcare services. 

Our Healthcare for the Homeless Program, through shelter-based clinics and mobile units, provides primary medical care, dental care, mental health and substance use services, and a variety of support services to persons experiencing homelessness. The program also provides eligibility and registration services through the shelter-based clinics and in other homeless service locations in greater Houston.

The Healthcare for the Homeless Program:

  • Reduces or eliminates barriers to healthcare experienced by homeless individuals
  • Enables healthcare problems to be detected and treated early
  • Decreases emergency center use for primary care needs
  • Increases immunization rates of homeless children
  • Increases tuberculosis screening and follow-up
  • Increases health promotion and prevention education among homeless individual
