HHS Picks 8 Communities for $96M Homelessness, Addiction Program
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced in Houston that eight communities have been selected to receive funding through the new STREETS program, administered by SAMHSA. The program will distribute $96 million over four years to help selected communities build coordinated systems of care for people experiencing homelessness who have serious mental illness, substance use disorders, or co-occurring disorders. The announcement names the funding recipients but does not detail specific program start dates or application requirements for future rounds.
State behavioral health agencies and Medicaid MCOs serving homeless populations with serious mental illness or substance use disorders may see new federal funding streams to coordinate with, affecting care coordination and cross-system referral arrangements.
