Housing Interventions component is 35% of total BHSA funds. Housing Interventions goal is to increase access to permanent supportive housing for individuals living with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders, who are chronically homeless, experiencing homelessness, or are at risk of homelessness. The aim is to place individuals in permanent supportive settings; funding may also be used for interim settings in collaboration with MCPs.
