Formula Grant X06SM090108

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a $609,846 Formula Grant under the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program (CFDA 93.150) to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. The grant will support comprehensive services for individuals experiencing serious mental illness, co-occurring substance abuse disorders, and homelessness or imminent risk of homelessness in Maine, including outreach, screening, treatment, rehabilitation, case management, and housing assistance.

The Maine Department of Health and Human Services is sub-awarding portions of the grant funding to three non-profit organizations - The Opportunity Alliance, Kennebec Behavioral Health, and Community Health And Counseling Services - to deliver the PATH program services at the local level. These sub-awards, ranging from approximately $175,000 to $250,000, will enable the non-profit partners to provide outreach, mental health/substance abuse treatment, and transitional/permanent housing support to individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Maine.
