Formula Grant X06SM091191

The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded the Louisiana Department of Health $761,617 under the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) formula grant program on September 1, 2026. PATH (CFDA 93.150) provides resources to reduce or eliminate homelessness for individuals with serious mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders who are experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. The award runs through August 31, 2028, with place of performance in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Health, a state government agency, serves as the prime recipient and administers PATH funding as a formula grant distributed annually to states, which then award funds to local public or nonprofit organizations operating as PATH providers. The Louisiana Department of Health collaborates with community mental health centers, local nonprofits, housing authorities, and other entities to implement homelessness services statewide. This is a formula grant assistance type; awards are issued directly by SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services to designated state agencies, which solicit and award proposals to local providers. The allotment is available for obligation during the one-year award period.
