Grant Summary and Timeline: COMCARE's Homeless Program has been providing services under the PATH (Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness) grant for 17 years through the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services. In this renewal application, COMCARE proposes to continue providing access to mental health and substance use treatment services for persons who are literally homeless. These services include:
- Street outreach;
- Screening and diagnostic treatment;
- Case management;
- Referrals to other providers, like primary healthcare and addiction treatment; and
- Technical assistance in applying for housing, benefits, employment, etc. as appropriate.
COMCARE's PATH funds will be utilized to support two full time (2.0 FTE) outreach case managers and 0.40 FTE office specialist to manage data for the program. COMCARE expects that approximately 400 literally homeless adults with mental illness and/or substance use will be outreached and 200 will be enrolled into services annually.
This agreement is an amendment that extends the award received in FY 2015 to extend the grant through FY 2016.
