Legislative proposal
The Administration will submit legislation for the Samaritan Initiative, a new
competitive grant program that supports the Administration's efforts to end
chronic homelessness within a decade. The budget includes $10 million in the
Department of Health and Human Services for this proposal. Together with the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA), HHS will support the most promising local collaborative
strategies to move chronically homeless persons from the streets to safe,
permanent housing with supportive services. HHS funds provided for the
Samaritan initiative will support the services component of grantee projects,
including substance abuse treatment and mental health services integrated with
primary health care.
