Home Base

What Home Base does

Home Base Inc. is a privately held, non-profit behavioral health and social services agency headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia, operating continuously since 1999 (with one firmographic source indicating a 1996 founding). The organization delivers a portfolio of integrated programs for at-risk West Virginia children and families: a statewide Behavioral Health Program (outpatient individual, family, and group counseling, behavior management, assessments, treatment planning, and telehealth), the CSED Waiver Program for children with severe emotional disorders, the Braids for Families (BFF) intensive mental health program for CPS- and Youth-Services-involved families, Socially Necessary Services (parenting skills, adult life skills, supervised visitation, crisis response, safety services, pre-reunification support), community-based Residential Treatment, Wraparound facilitation (Safe at Home and CSED), and the Parenting + Behavior Support Center in Beckley offering community classes and a food/clothing pantry. Service delivery occurs through 12 documented regional offices organized into seven regions across West Virginia (Kanawha Valley, North Central, Ohio Valley, Northern Panhandle, Eastern Panhandle, Potomac Highlands, Southern), with both in-home and in-office care supplemented by telehealth.

The organization holds no proprietary technology platform; its offering is human-services labor delivered by masters-level clinicians, outreach coordinators, and support staff under clinical and supervisory leadership (including a Clinical Director of Behavioral Health, a Chief Practice Management Officer, a State Director for Residential Services, and a Chief Personnel Officer). In November 2019, Home Base earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for its behavioral health, residential, and wraparound programs following an unannounced July 2019 onsite review.

The business model is government-funded managed services. Revenue sources are explicitly identified as (i) Medicaid/Medicare reimbursements for outpatient behavioral health services rendered to qualifying West Virginia residents, and (ii) contracts with the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (WV DHHR) covering the CSED Waiver Program, Socially Necessary Services, and child welfare-related work. No individual pricing is published; the agency does not disclose revenue. Customer segments are Medicaid/Medicare-eligible WV residents, children with severe emotional disorders, families with open CPS or Youth Services cases, and broader WV children/families seeking community-based behavioral health support, all routed through case-management or self-referral channels into a regional office network.
