Development of Comprehensive Drug/Alcohol and Mental Health Treatment Systems for Persons Who are Homeless: The purpose of Treatment for Homeless grants is to enable communities to expand and strengthen their treatment services for homeless individuals with substance abuse disorders, mental illness, or with co-occurring substance abuse disorders and mental illness. ?Homeless? persons are those who lack a fixed, regular, adequate nighttime residence, including persons whose primary nighttime residence is: a supervised public or private shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations; a time-limited/ nonpermanent transitional housing arrangement for individuals engaged in mental health and/or substance abuse treatment; or a public or private facility not designed for, or ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation. ?Homeless? also includes ?doubled-up? ? a residential status that places individuals at imminent risk for becoming homeless ? defined as sharing another person?s dwelling on a temporary basis where continued tenancy is contingent upon the hospitality of the primary leaseholder or owner and can be rescinded at any time without notice. Background: It is estimated that up to 600,000 persons are homeless on any given night. Persons with substance abuse disorders have an elevated risk for homelessness and for being homeless for long periods. Persons who are homeless have an elevated risk of infectious diseases associated with substance abuse, such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. One-half of homeless adults have histories of alcohol abuse or dependence and one-third have histories of drug abuse. About 20-25 percent of homeless adults have lifetime histories of serious mental illness. Between 10-20 percent have a co-occurring SA/MH disorder. The ?Treatment for Homeless? program began in FY 2001. Currently, there are 50 projects participating in this program.
