Last week U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced that 43 organizations from around the country working to end chronic homelessness in their communities have been awarded Services in Supportive Housing grants of up to $400,000 per year for up to 5 years from the SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services. Recipients will be able to use these federal resources to provide and enhance intensive, individualized support services to individuals and families experiencing chronic homelessness in coordination with existing permanent supportive housing programs.
Congratulations to the Center for Human Development (Springfield) and ServiceNet (Northampton), both of which received grants.
