The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) was awarded a $375,000 Project Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program. The 3-year project will implement targeted strategies to provide substance misuse, abuse, and harm reduction services, facilitated access to treatment, and peer recovery support services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the City & County of Denver, Colorado. Key activities include expanding access to evidence-based harm reduction and peer recovery support, providing facilitated access to substance use disorder treatment, and hosting community events to increase participants' sense of belonging. Performance metrics include engaging 80% of participants in project services within 6 months, 30% of participants reducing substance use through peer support, and 50% of participants being referred to treatment. The project will serve a total of 135 participants over the 3-year period.
