Toolkit Funding Supportive Housing Services for People with Behavioral Health Needs: Federal Resources

This paper highlights how behavioral health and homeless service systems can familiarize themselves with federal funding resources available through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to improve access to the full array of housing-related services and supports (HRSS). It also offers considerations for building partnerships with the state and local systems that administer these funding streams. These partnerships are central to supporting access to the array of HRSSs necessary to achieve lower healthcare costs while improving health, wellness, and housing tenure.
