Community Wellness

Community Partnerships

With compassion at the core of what we do, Avenue 360 works with community partners to increase access to comprehensive services that complement basic health care, for the most vulnerable uninsured and underinsured population throughout greater Houston.

  • We build relationships that focus on the overall health and wellness of individuals within vulnerable populations throughout Houston to respond to behavior health, exposure to health threats, and socioeconomic conditions. Avenue 360’s community integration efforts helps to build rapport with community members and potential patients.
  • We assess, develop strategies, and provide support for gaps in overall health and wellness within non-traditional settings. Our community-based partnerships include educational institutions and school districts including, University of Houston, Texas Southern University, Houston Community College and Lonestar College. We team up with local WIC offices, area YMCAs, places of worship, shelters, and local law enforcement offices, as well as apartment communities.

Health Education & Outreach

Avenue 360’s approach to health extends beyond our clinics. Our dedicated team empowers communities throughout greater Houston to improve health outcomes, address social determinants of health, and establish partnerships that focus on education, prevention, and health & wellness to build healthier and stronger communities.

  • Avenue 360’s Outreach team provides needed services to individuals and families living in places not meant for human habitation (streets, freeway underpasses, cars, encampments, etc.) in Houston/Harris County. Our team is embedded in the community by participating in food distribution events and attending cooperative community meetings.
  • We work to identify and establish collaborations with community organizations and partners, develop and host education sessions in the community on topics such as healthy eating habits, women’s health, sexual health, and cardiovascular health, and provide free health screenings such as blood pressure, glucose, HIV, Hepatitis C, and Syphilis testing.

SOAR Case Management: Housing Services

Our case management program offers support to homeless adults with mental illness, physical disability and/or substance abuse issues for the purpose of expediting the SSDI/SSI and medical benefits application process.

  • Avenue 360 employs SOAR case managers who serve as appointed representatives before the Social Security Administration for clients who are homeless and disabled, using the SOAR process for filing disability claims.
  • To determine if you are eligible for SOAR services you must be assessed at one of Houston’s designated Coordinated Access sites.  More can be found at www.homelesshouston.org.
