Federal Grant Award Summary

The North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services received a formula grant award of $1,602,274 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). The award, effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, provides funding to support comprehensive services for individuals experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness who have serious mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders.

Through this PATH grant, North Carolina will deliver or sub-award funding for critical support services including outreach, screening, diagnostic treatment, psychiatric rehabilitation, community mental health services, substance abuse treatment, case management, residential supportive services, and housing assistance. These services are designed to stabilize vulnerable populations and facilitate their transition from homelessness. As the designated state mental health authority, NC DHHS administers the funds through sub-awards to local public and nonprofit organizations, community mental health centers, and other service providers operating across North Carolina's service areas, enabling coordinated homeless intervention and mental health support throughout the state.
