November
is Homeless Awareness Month and SAMHSA is doing its part to fill
gaps within existing community resources playing a crucial role in
communities’ strategic plans to end homelessness.
In
fiscal year 2020, SAMHSA’s Projects for Assistance in Transition
from Homelessness (PATH) grantees enrolled 60,000 individuals and
connected nearly 40,000 to community mental health services. Nearly
40% of these individuals reported co-occurring disorders and
approximately 39% of these individuals were experiencing chronic
homelessness.
The
PATH program was created to reduce or eliminate homelessness for
individuals with serious mental illnesses and/or co-occurring
substance use disorders, who are experiencing homelessness or are
at imminent risk of becoming homeless. More on the PATH 2020 Annual
Report Data is available at: https://pathpdx.samhsa.gov/public?tab=searchdatareports
