Federal Grant Award Summary

Partners Behavioral Health Management (Partners BHM) received a $356,203 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, supports the organization's efforts to provide housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Gastonia, North Carolina. The CoC Program funding enables Partners BHM to deliver eligible services across five program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities.

As a local government-owned managed care organization specializing in behavioral health and social services, Partners BHM utilizes this funding to implement evidence-based interventions addressing complex social and health challenges within its service area. The organization's CoC-funded activities support the federal goal of ending community homelessness by quickly rehousing individuals while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promoting access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations. These services complement Partners BHM's broader portfolio of federal grant-supported programs, including substance use disorder treatment and mental health initiatives funded through other HUD and federal agency partnerships.
