This guide highlights strategies for behavioral health and housing providers to conduct outreach and engage with individuals experiencing homelessness, initiate use of behavioral health treatment as they wait to receive stable housing and retain them in their recovery efforts once housed.

Community engagement is often cited as a tool to improve the health of the community and its members. This guide will review evidence related to leveraging community engagement to support the implementation and scale-up of evidence-based programs and policies.

This guide reviews interventions for people living with substance use and mental disorders who are at risk for or living with HIV. Selected interventions are in alignment with goals of the federal “Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America” (EHE) initiative.

This TIP is intended to help a wide range of providers become familiar with the various issues surrounding clients with both substance use and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and to foster a better understanding of the roles of other providers.

Effective Interventions offers capacity-building assistance resources for CDC-supported HIV prevention and treatment evidence-based interventions. This CDC website is organized according to the four pillars of the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative (Diagnose, Treat, Prevent, Respond). It includes links to request classroom trainings and technical assistance to support implementation of these interventions if funding permits.
