Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 23 006
The Treatment for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness, Serious Emotional Disturbance or Co-Occurring Disorders Experiencing Homelessness Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It is designed to expand access to coordinated, comprehensive, evidence-based behavioral health services for people who are experiencing homelessness or are at imminent risk of homelessness. The program specifically targets individuals, youth, and families living with serious mental illness (SMI), serious emotional disturbance (SED), or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, including people in especially vulnerable transition periods such as exiting jail or prison without stable housing.
At its core, the grant focuses on building an organized, service-connected pathway that brings people from homelessness (or near-homelessness) into consistent treatment and long-term stability. Recipients are expected to actively engage and connect the population of focus to behavioral health treatment, case management, and recovery support services. That means not only offering clinical care, but also ensuring people can actually access it, stay involved, and receive the wraparound supports that make recovery more realistic in the context of housing instability. The emphasis on evidence-based services signals that SAMHSA is looking for approaches with a solid track record, rather than loosely defined or purely experimental programming.
A major required component of the program is helping participants secure sustainable permanent housing through collaboration. Grant recipients are expected to work closely with homeless services organizations and housing providers, including public housing agencies, to identify and access housing options that can last. This reflects the practical reality that treatment outcomes are far harder to maintain when someone is cycling through shelters, living outdoors, couch-surfing, or moving between temporary arrangements. By requiring formal partnership and coordination with housing systems, the program aims to reduce the common fragmentation where behavioral health providers and housing providers operate separately, leaving participants to navigate disconnected systems on their own.
The grant also places strong weight on case management that is more than basic referrals. Recipients are expected to provide case management that includes care coordination, service delivery planning, and other strategies that support stability across services and housing transitions. In practice, this means helping participants maintain continuity of care while their housing situation changes, ensuring that treatment plans follow them, appointments are kept, medications and supports are not interrupted, and services are aligned across providers. It also implies an expectation that recipients will plan for the realities of transitions, such as moving from street outreach to shelter, shelter to transitional housing, or transitional housing to permanent housing, and will maintain consistent engagement during those shifts.
SAMHSA describes the broader goal as expanding opportunities to improve both the access to and delivery of coordinated mental health services while also improving housing stability. The design recognizes that homelessness and behavioral health needs often reinforce each other, and that effective solutions usually require integrated systems: outreach and engagement, clinical treatment, recovery supports, and housing navigation working as one coordinated effort rather than isolated programs.
