Narrative
Please structure your proposal to provide the following information in the order indicated. Provide the narrative
in paragraph form in the text field provided. Please be thorough but strive for brevity.
1. Briefly describe the organization’s history, mission and goals.
Circle the City (CTC) is a rapidly growing non-denominational non-profit community health organization
dedicated to creating and delivering innovative healthcare solutions that compassionately address the needs of
men, women, and children facing homelessness in Maricopa County. Incorporated in 2008, CTC offers a
continuum of homeless healthcare that is one-of-a-kind in the state and one of the only models of its type in the
nation. In 2012, CTC launched the state’s first and only medical respite center for men and women
experiencing homelessness while ill or injured. Always looking for opportunities to fill critical gaps in the
homeless healthcare system, in September 2015, CTC opened The Parsons Family Health Center, a
homeless-specialty primary care facility that provides comprehensive medical care as well as on-site wrap-
around services including case management. Furthering its community outreach, CTC also launched a two-
room mobile medical clinic that visits parks, supportive housing complexes, and other homeless community
service agencies in order to provide healthcare to those who cannot access the fixed primary care site.
Through an agreement with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, CTC acquired the ‘healthcare
for the homeless’ project located at the Maricopa Human Services Campus on January 1, 2018, effectively
making CTC the only homeless healthcare provider in Maricopa County. CTC is also repurposing a second
vacant 15,000 square foot facility on the Maricopa Human Services Campus into a 50-bed medical respite
facility. This new program, which will be fully operational in April 2018, will serve as a second site of medical
respite service, and will leverage the model already proven effective in CTC’s existing 50-bed facility at 333 W.
Indian School Rd. CTC’s existing facility has been at capacity since June 2015 with an ongoing waiting list of
30-50 patients. Post expansion, CTC will have the capacity to sustainably serve 12,000+ homeless individuals
annually - roughly 2.5x its current capacity. The organization will continue to evaluate other unique programs
and services to address the healthcare needs of people experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County.
Ultimately, Circle the City is committed to ending homelessness by providing high quality medical care and
social services that give patients the tools and resources to lead healthy, independent lives.
2. If the applying organization is non-municipal or a non-profit 501c, please describe your relationship with
Arizona municipalities including past and present support, whether through partnerships, collaborations,
in-kind contributions, grants, tax-based funding or other. Describe the supporting municipality’s role in
this project. If the applying organization is a municipality governmental sub-division please enter the
text “Not applicable.”
CTC was the recipient of a 2017 Maricopa County ESG grant. Additionally, the organization
partnered with the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) on a 2014 Dignity Health
Community of Care grant that worked to test the Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool
(SPDAT) on medically vulnerable homeless persons in order to prioritize and expedite access to
supportive housing for these individuals. CTC also received a Human Services grant from the City of
Tempe in 2017 to partially support our mobile medical unit services in Tempe.

Gila River Indian Community Grant Application
Grant Cycle 2018
3. Describe the proposed project and planned goals and activities.
Program:
Before the Medical Respite Center opened in 2012, Phoenix was the largest metropolitan area in the
country without a medical respite facility for men and women experiencing homelessness. Hospitals provided
temporary medical care for the most acutely ill and injured but there was no post-discharge option for patients
to receive recuperative care. As a result, patients were discharged back to the streets or emergency shelters
where—without a clean bed, access to medication, oversight from a physician, and assistance from a
caregiver—recovery was difficult, if not impossible. Many patients suffered complications and, often via
expensive 911 calls, returned to hospitals and emergency rooms again and again, overutilizing an already
overburdened system and costing local taxpayers untold millions of dollars.
Since launching, the 50-bed, 24/7 Medical Respite Center has cared for more than 1,350 patients and has
quickly become one of the nation’s leading models for holistic, homeless-focused integrated healthcare.
Approximately 30% of the patient population is either uninsured or under-insured but, at Circle the City, no
patient is ever turned away because of an inability to pay. In late March/early April of 2018, CTC will launch a
second 50-bed medical respite center on the Human Services Campus. This new program will leverage the
model already proven effective in CTC’s existing 50-bed facility at 333 W. Indian School Rd. CTC’s existing
facility has been at capacity since June 2015 with an ongoing waiting list of 30-50 patients. Post expansion,
CTC will have the capacity to sustainably provide medical respite services to 800+ homeless individuals
annually – twice its current capacity.
Goals for the two sites of service include:
1. Provide more than 30,500 bed days of acute medical services and case management to ill or injured
homeless individuals. Of the approximately 800 total patients who will be cared for, upwards of 250 are
expected to be uninsured or under-insured;
2. Establish integrated, holistic plans of care for 100% of these patients;
3. Maintain the necessary engagement to ensure that at least 75% of these patients successfully complete all
goals established in their respective care plans;
4. Successfully connect at least 90% of these patients with relevant benefits or entitlements, including
nutritional assistance, health insurance, income, and housing;
5. Successfully transition at least 75% of these patients into living situations other than the streets or
emergency shelter system.
Activities:
Each patient interacts daily with compassionate doctors and nurses and receives wrap-around services
on-site including psychiatric evaluation, physical therapy, and substance abuse intervention. Patients also
meet
regularly with case managers to apply for identification and other documents, benefits, and housing to ensure
that they are successfully discharged to living environments other than the streets or emergency shelter
system.
Additionally, more than 150 volunteers lead activities and events for patients including art classes, bingo, crafts
sessions, and tutoring. These activities are an important component in reintegrating patients back into the
community from which homelessness has isolated them.
4. Describe how the proposed project satisfies one or more of the priority funding areas identified by the
Gila River Indian Community.
This request meets the Gila River Indian Community’s Healthcare priority area, specifically direct patient care.
Each patient interacts daily with compassionate doctors and nurses and receives wrap-around services on-site
including psychiatric evaluation, physical therapy, and substance abuse intervention.

Gila River Indian Community Grant Application
Grant Cycle 2018
5. Identify the needs/problems to be addressed, target population and number of people to be served by
the project.
Needs:
Homelessness has devastating effects on a person’s health. In one study, the prevalence rate of chronic
medical illness in the homeless was one-half of the surveyed population compared with less than one-quarter
of
the housed population (Donovan et al., 2007). Because of a lack of income, insurance, or transportation, these
health conditions are left untreated and are complicated by high incidences of mental health and substance
abuse disorders. As a result, people experiencing homelessness are some of the most frequent and costly
users
of healthcare services. They visit emergency departments 9 to 12 times more than people who are housed,
have
higher rates of hospitalization, and stay longer per admission (S.W. Hwang et al., 2011). But medical respite
care
has proven to be a cost-effective and safe stabilization point for men and women to land after long and
complex
periods of hospitalization or for individuals living in homelessness whose complicated illnesses or injuries have
begun to spiral out of control. For the average cost of one day of hospitalization--$2,194—Circle the City
provides each patient with more than 10 days of holistic, physican-supervised medical respite care in a safe
and
clean environment.
Target Population:
Homeless men and women who are ill or injured are the target population for medical respite care.
Approximately 42% of Circle the City’s patients are age 55 and older. This data aligns directly with a national
phenomenon called “The Aging of the Homeless,” which was discussed in the October 2014 issue of The
Lancet medical journal. The median age of the homeless population in the United States has risen to nearly 50
years of age. Individuals between the ages of 50-61 have experienced homelessness at higher rates
throughout their lives than previous generations did. This is creating a more intensive medical need for the
care of chronic disease, geriatric conditions, frailty, and end-of-life issues. Circle the City has positioned itself
to meet the needs of this particularly vulnerable and growing population.
Number of People to be Served:
Circle the City expects to provide medical respite care for 800 unique individuals during any 12 month period
between our two medical respite sites of service.
6. Define the project as a new or continuing program.
The medical respite care program is a continuing program that began in October 2012. The new site
of medical respite care will duplicate the existing model.
7. Provide a brief timeline including start and finish dates. Indicate if the timeline is flexible.
Medical respite care is an ongoing patient care program and, as such, the timeline is flexible with patients
being admitted and discharged on a continual basis. Please see the attached patient timeline for an example of
a patient’s Medical Respite Center stay.

Gila River Indian Community Grant Application
Grant Cycle 2018
8. Identify other organizations, partners or funders participating in the project and their roles.
Circle the City collaborates with numerous community partners to provide an array of services for all its
patients, including those who are uninsured and under-insured. Four major hospital systems (Abrazo
Community Health Network, Banner Health, Dignity Health, and Honor Health) maintain referral contracts with
Circle the City and send patients experiencing homelessness to the Medical Respite Center for recuperative
care
to heal from serious illnesses and injuries. While these hospital contracts pay for a portion of patient stays,
Circle
the City must use charitable care monies to fund the balance for patients from hospitals or community settings
who are uninsured or under-insured. Another important partner is Hospice of the Valley, which owns Circle the
City’s building and exchanges reduced rent for end-of-life care for homeless hospice patients. Collaborating
with additional local agencies is a critical means for meeting patients’ social service needs, including post-
discharge housing. These partners include Native American Connections, Arizona Housing Inc., and Ozanam
Manor.
Circle the City also has academic affiliations with medical and nursing schools that rotate students into the
Medical Respite Center to learn about homeless-specific medical care. Participating schools include A.T. Still
University (first- and second-year medical students); Creighton University (fourth-year medical elective course);
Mayo School of Graduate Medical Education (resident education in neurology and internal medicine); and
Midwestern University (resident education in podiatry). Finally, employee groups from corporations such as
Willis of Arizona and Intel provide volunteers for various projects and conduct company-wide collections of
items needed by patients.
9. Would you be able to implement the proposed plan if your organization received partial funding for this
project?
Yes. Circle the City’s ability to meet the needs of vulnerable members of the community—especially those who
are uninsured or under-insured—depends on the generosity of donors and grantors. Circle the City is grateful
for all levels of financial support. But in the unfortunate case that adequate funding is not secured to support
this activity, the organization would scale back either services or scope of operation until key resources are
once again secured.
10. Describe your plan for project financial sustainability beyond the grant period. If this is a
program/project previously funded by the Gila River Indian Community describe efforts made towards
the previously described sustainability plan.
Following major legislative changes in 2014, CTC's business strategy shifted to a revenue model that
leverages the resources of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), Arizona's Medicaid
administration. CTC has secured contracts with eight Medicaid managed care organizations, resulting in a
projected incremental revenue of nearly $8 million across all programs for FY2018/19. The Medical Respite
Center, in particular, is increasing its level of independent stability with roughly 68% of its operating expenses
financed by operating income. In CTC’s new earned income-centric environment, the organization effectively
matches every dollar granted or donated to CTC with an additional $2-$3 of health services revenue, ensuring
that each philanthropic dollar is leveraged as fully as possible. Additionally, CTC holds three annual
fundraisers: a spring Garden Tea Party; a Community Breakfast in April; and a fall Top Golf event, with
proceeds from all three events benefitting patient programs. Unfortunately, the large number of uninsured and
under-insured homeless men, women and children in Maricopa County will exist into the unforeseeable future,

Gila River Indian Community Grant Application
Grant Cycle 2018
requiring CTC to continually seek funding to ensure this population receives the healthcare services they so
desperately need.
11. Describe your plan to document progress and results.
Circle the City’s most advanced method for monitoring outcomes is its electronic medical record (EMR), which
tracks patient demographics, frequency and length of engagements with medical providers, and outcomes,
both medical and social. Provider notes, charts, and documents are scanned into the integrated medical
record, which is then reported on and analyzed to track outcomes for CTC patients.
12. Indicate any application to and/or awards made by a tribe other than the Gila River Indian Community
for state shared revenues for this and any other project for the past five (5) years. If this information is
included in a separate attachment, please indicate that here.
In 2017 CTC applied for additional state shared revenues from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community for this project, and from the Tohono O'odham Nation for a separate
project. In addition to funding received from the Gila River Indian Community in 2017, CTC received funding
from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in 2017.
