The Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUC) is a walk-in service providing immediate mental/behavioral health support for youth and adolescents in crisis, helping to stabilize and connect them to ongoing care. The BHUC, located at 400 West Ransom Street Fuquay-Varina, is available 24/7/365 for ages 5-20 to be assessed by a clinician. If the clinician determines that a child would benefit from a longer observation period, they can be admitted to the BHUC for just shy of 24 hours. This allows for an extended assessment and stabilization period. The BHUC is an alternative to your local hospital emergency department; a safe, child-friendly environment, to speak with someone regarding mental/behavioral health concerns.

MORES (Mobile Outreach Response Engagement and Stabilization) is a rapid-response crisis service for youth and their families. With a call from the parent/caregiver, MORES will arrive in an hour in Wake, Durham, Orange, Johnston and Harnett counties to assess, stabilize and connect the family to resources. The second component of MORES is available to Alliance Medicaid and WellCare Medicaid consumers, where the team remains involved for a set number of weeks to provide care management, advocacy and support while helping the family connect with community-based resources. MORES is available 24/7/365 for ages 3-20. To access the MORES Service: 484-215-6756

The MORES Connection Form can be used by anyone to advocate for a child, although always more beneficial to have the parent/caregiver make the call. The completed form can be submitted to [email protected] and will be given to the MORES team to reach out to the family to see if they would be receptive to the service. The process takes longer, up to 48 hours, than if the parent/caregiver initiates.

The biggest barrier to solving homelessness in the U.S. is supply and demand. Contrary to what many people believe, the biggest cause of homelessness is not individual risk factors like illness, mental health, poverty, and poor decision-making. The biggest barrier to solving homelessness in the U.S. is, in fact, supply and demand.  This is why involving real estate leaders and landlords in the solution is the Lotus gamechanger. By working with real estate developers and landlords, we overcome barriers to existing market-rate housing for people who can’t always meet landlord requirements such as rental histories, background and credit checks and references. Landlords make no financial concessions because Lotus covers landlord risks, and we do it for only $1,200 per sponsored resident. Through philanthropy, we open access to market-rate, mixed-income housing without government funds. We partner with social service partners who determines if a homeless individual or family is good fit for Lotus Campaign. If so, our team finds a potential landlord match within our Landlord Participation Program (LPP). When a landlord match is found, Lotus covers application fees, renter’s insurance, and guarantees against loss of rent. This incentivizes landlords and decreases their risks.
