Organization:
Pathways to Housing DC
In September of 2017 Pathways to Housing DC was chosen as one of thirteen programs nationwide to be awarded a five-year innovation grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Pathways DC partnered with Montgomery County’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for this project, called “Pathways Home”.
Using a client-centered approach, the project targets Montgomery County’s chronically homeless individuals with substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorders whose service needs are not being met by existing programs. By creating a unique Housing First Integrated Behavioral Health Team, this project is designed to target a very specific and underserved population of people. Pathways DC is the lead in the Pathways Home project with Montgomery County’s DHHS providing access to housing through their division of Special Needs Housing, a full time nurse, and access to the county’s psychiatric services for the individuals being served.
