The City of Manchester first received Federal funding to support health care services for the
City’s homeless population in 1987. This funding is utilized to provide primary medical care,
oral health care, behavioral health care, substance abuse services and case management for
homeless individuals.

Today, all services are provided by Catholic Medical Center’s Community Health Services Mobile 
Community Health Team (MCHT) under contract with the Manchester Health Department. Full
health care services are primarily provided at New Horizons for New Hampshire five days per
week and at Families in Transition two days per week. In addition to clinical space, both sites
provide classrooms where the MCHT conducts health education, parenting classes, wellness
programs, behavioral education groups, and recovery counseling sessions.
