Housing for People who are Homeless and Addicted to Alcohol: This demonstration targets chronically homeless persons who have been living on the streets for at least three hundred and sixty-five (365) days over the last five (5) years and have a long-term addiction to alcohol, otherwise described as serial inebriates. Clients served by these funds will have been living on the streets at the time of initial contact and will have no history of living in transitional or permanent housing over the last five years. It is the intent of Congress that funds awarded under this NOFA support innovative solutions, which frequently result when local community organizations work together. Building upon existing collaborations, grantees are expected to work in conjunction with local law enforcement agencies and courts, including the police department, sheriffs department, superior court, city attorney, and/or city council, to identify and refer eligible clients to projects funded by this program. After clients are identified as having a long-term addiction to alcohol and having lived on the streets for at least 365 days over the last five years, the provider will determine, on a case-by-case basis, if they need to be stabilized in programs (not funded through this initiative), such as a residential treatment center, detoxification center or other jail diversion program, for up to six months prior to being placed into permanent supportive housing (funded through this initiative).
