About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) are accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2011 for Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals (CABHI). The purpose of this program is to support the development and/or expansion of local implementation and community infrastructures that integrate treatment and services for mental and substance use disorders, permanent housing, and other critical services for individuals who are chronically homeless. SAMHSA seeks to increase the number of individuals who are chronically homeless placed in permanent housing that supports recovery through comprehensive treatment and recovery services for behavioral health. SAMHSA also seeks to increase capacity for community-based providers to enroll individuals who are chronically homeless in mainstream programs and obtain reimbursement for behavioral health.This grant program builds on the success of the previous SAMHSA Services in Supportive Housing (SSH) program and SAMHSA Grants to Benefit Homeless Individuals (GBHI) program. Both SAMHSA SSH and GBHI programs combined housing assistance with intensive individualized support services to individuals who are chronically homeless. The Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals program supports the development and/or expansion of local implementation and community infrastructures that integrate treatment and services for mental and substance use disorders, permanent housing, and other critical services for individuals who are chronically homeless through Medicaid and other mainstream programs. The major goal of the Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals program is to ensure that the most vulnerable individuals who are chronically homeless receive access to sustainable permanent recovery supports through mainstream funding sources. To achieve this goal, SAMHSA funds will support three primary types of activities: 1) behavioral health, housing support, and other recovery-oriented services not covered under a State's Medicaid plan; 2) coordination of housing and services for chronically homeless individuals and families at the State and local level which support the implementation and/or enhance the long-term sustainability of integrated community systems that provide permanent housing and supportive services; and 3) efforts to engage and enroll eligible persons who are chronically homeless in Medicaid and other mainstream benefit programs ( SSI/SSDI, TANF, SNAP).On a single night in January 2009, there were an estimated 643,067 sheltered and unsheltered people who are homeless nationwide. Of those, approximately 111,000 were chronically homeless. SAMHSA supports and has partnered to accomplish one of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) policy priorities which has been the development of permanent housing programs that provide a combination of housing and supportive services to people who were formerly homeless and with disabilities. This announcement is aligned with both HUD and the U. S. Interagency Council on Homelessness Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. Persons experiencing homelessness have higher rates of substance use and problems with mental health, physical employment issues than those with permanent housing. Although the relationship between housing status and clinical treatment outcomes is a complex one, some studies suggest that associations exist between stable housing, lower utilization of hospital services, and more positive treatment outcomes among certain populations. Permanent housing that is offered following or concurrent with recovery oriented and treatment focused integrated care models can result in improved clinical outcomes. The linkage between stable permanent housing and behavioral health services is critical for recovery.
