Matrix: Homelessness Services

Addiction Treatment for the Homeless (CSAT)

Goals and Objectives

The primary goal of this program is to enable communities to expand and strengthen their drug and alcohol treatment systems for homeless individuals with substance abuse disorders or with co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders. It will address the need to link substance abuse services with housing programs and other services for homeless persons, and to secure and maintain housing for homeless persons with substance abuse problems.

Program Activity
  This program supports 17 cooperative agreements. Each project, incorporating their own intervention, is embedded within an integrated, comprehensive, community-based system. Results to be tracked include the number of clients served and outcomes such as employment, permanent housing, reduced criminal involvement, reduced substance abuse, and improved mental health.
