The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) announced today 23 new grants totaling up to $30 million, over three years, to local organizations working to reduce chronic homelessness in their communities.
This grant program is designed to reduce the barriers that persons who are chronically homeless with mental and substance use disorders and their families experience while obtaining treatment and stable housing. The resources provided through the grant will support intensive individualized treatment services designed to increase recovery and sustain permanent supportive housing.
“These grants will help rebuild the lives of people and families who are chronically homeless because of a behavioral health problem,” said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde., J.D. "By providing housing that supports recovery from these health conditions, we can move people off of the streets and into successful fulfilling lives.”
SAMHSA’s Recovery Support Strategic Initiative identifies housing as one of the four key elements of recovery. The 20 awardees will receive up to $500,000 per year for up to three years. Continuation of these awards is subject to availability of funds. The following is a list of the grant awardees and their first year grant amounts:
