House of Hope Community Development Corporation, a Rhode Island-based housing non-profit that advocates for housing policies to address structural inequalities and offers trauma-informed and harm-reduction services to empower PEH, plans to open ECHO Village to help address the state’s dual opioid and homelessness crisis. ECHO Village will accommodate up to 60 PEH for about one year in thirty, 64-square-foot tiny homes. This project aims to identify what health and harm reduction strategies will be feasible and acceptable at ECHO Village. Specifically, it will determine what clinical assessment, mental health, and behavioral health services will be delivered to ECHO Village residents, including what services will be offered onsite, through telehealth, mobile van, or community referral.
