SAMHSA Web Resource on Homelessness Launched

SAMHSA's Homelessness Resource Center (HRC) has introduced the interim www.homeless.samhsa.gov website.

The HRC fosters the development of an interactive learning community by bringing together state-of-the art knowledge and promising practices to prevent and end homelessness among people with mental health and substance use problems, and trauma histories. Read More

Shelter alone will not end homelessness. Housing and services together are necessary for many homeless people, especially those with mental health conditions, substance use issues, and histories of trauma. Finding comprehensive information about these complex issues in one place can be difficult.

When completed next winter, this site will cover the most important subjects in the homeless field from the perspectives of researchers, service providers, consumers, advocates, and policymakers. Its aim is to be among the most advanced resources available on any public policy issue.

Why is it Interim?

The Interim Site is only the beginning. When this site is completed next winter, it will be among the most advanced resources available on any public or social policy issue. Keep up to date with new features and activities by visiting the Coming Soon section of homeless.samhsa.gov.
