Formula Grant X06SM090437

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services received a $2.28M formula grant award from the SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services under the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program (CFDA 93.150), effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. This award supports comprehensive mental health and housing services designed to reduce and eliminate homelessness for individuals experiencing serious mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders. PATH services include outreach, screening, diagnostic assessment, mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, case management, residential support, and housing assistance.

As the designated state administering agency for Pennsylvania, PA DHS will distribute the PATH funds to local public and nonprofit organizations operating as service providers throughout the Commonwealth. These sub-awardees deliver integrated interventions at the community level to stabilize individuals' mental health status and housing situations. The program represents a targeted approach to addressing the complex needs of vulnerable homeless and at-risk populations through coordinated mental health and housing support services aligned with federal statutory requirements under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Amendments Act.
