The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded the California Department of Health Care Services $8,516,048 under the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program on July 1, 2026. PATH (CFDA 93.150) funds services for people with serious mental illness experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness, including those with co-occurring substance use disorders. The award runs through June 30, 2028, with place of performance in Sacramento, California. As a formula grant authorized by the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Amendments Act of 1990 and reauthorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, PATH distributes annual allotments to all states and territories. DHCS, as the designated state agency, receives the grant directly from SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services and passes funds to local public or nonprofit PATH providers that deliver direct services to the homeless population and those at imminent risk.
