CenterPointe has long served members of the Lincoln community who experience severe
and persistent mental illness, addiction and health issues. Nearly all are low income.
CenterPointe’s more than 40 programs offer mental health and substance use treatment,
primary care, rehabilitation, medication management, 24-hour crisis response and housing.

At the core of
CenterPointe’s mission

is the belief that every
person has the ability

to recover and be
well.”

offering hope when there is no hope

CenterPointe was Nebraska’s earliest adopter of a “housing first” model. People with mental
illness and addiction challenges are housed first, then engaged for treatment services.
CenterPointe operates more than 200 units of supported housing through a variety of
funding streams.

CenterPointe saw the effects of the pandemic firsthand:
Calls to CenterPointe’s crisis hotline increased by 42%.
Crisis walk-ins more than doubled.
Crisis Response Team contacts, immediate crisis interventions and referrals increased
significantly.
4,269 individuals were served in 2021, a 27% increase over 2020, up 59% from 2019.
