Enabling services (ES), nonclinical services such as eligibility assistance and health education, are integral components of the comprehensive services provided by health center program grantees.

Since 2012, AAPCHO has collaborated with the National Health Care for the Homeless Council and Health Outreach Partners to expand training opportunities on ES data collection to health centers across the country.
