Improved Support for Homeless Individuals with Health Issues
This new law aims to improve coordination between healthcare services and organizations assisting homeless individuals, particularly those with mental health issues or substance use disorders. Through grants, local authorities and organizations can better connect medical care with housing assistance, making it easier for homeless people to access the support they need.
Key points
The act establishes a grant program to foster better collaboration between healthcare services and homelessness assistance providers.
Grants will help fund staff training, system improvements, and technology to ensure homeless individuals with health issues receive more integrated support.
Grant funds cannot be used for direct healthcare costs (except Naloxone and training) or for paying rent.
The program aims to improve outcomes such as housing stability and access to treatment for individuals receiving assistance.
