Path

The Department of Human Services Colorado received a $1,134,610 formula grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services under the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program (CFDA 93.150) on August 1, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2027. The PATH program provides comprehensive services designed to reduce and eliminate homelessness for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) and co-occurring substance use disorders (COD) who are experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. Services funded through this award include outreach, screening, diagnostic treatment, psychiatric rehabilitation, community mental health services, substance abuse treatment, case management, residential supportive services, and housing assistance.

The Department of Human Services Colorado administers these funds through sub-awards to local service providers, including Summitstone Health Partners, a community mental health center serving Larimer County, Colorado. Summitstone Health Partners received two sub-award amendments totaling $88,188 in additional FY26 funding ($35,500 and $52,688 respectively, awarded November 24 and November 18, 2025) to deliver PATH services including outreach, case management, and mental health services to eligible individuals experiencing homelessness or presumed to have mental illness. This collaborative distribution model enables the state agency to support service delivery across multiple local communities throughout Colorado.
