Grant Summary and Timeline:
Background: COMCARE of Sedgwick County is applying for a two-year grant for Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) through the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. COMCARE has received PATH grant funds since the initiation of the Homeless Program, and they support a variety of services intended to help clients transition from living on the streets to maintaining a home of their own, including:
- Street outreach;
- Screening and diagnostic treatment;
- Case management services;
- Referrals to address other needs, including primary health and addiction treatment services; and
- Technical assistance in applying for housing, benefits, employment, etc.as appropriate.
COMCARE's Homeless Program estimates that the two case managers and two peer providers funded through this grant will outreach approximately 950 clients annually, connecting them to the mainstream resources that they need to find and maintain housing.
