Description
This grant program provides funding to support individualized mental health services and flexible support for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) residing in permanent supportive housing or other housing programs (including transitional housing) in Illinois. The goal is to help participants build independent living and tenancy skills, maintain stable housing, and live as independently as possible. Services may include transportation, assistance with medical appointments, moving, apartment setup, landlord coordination, and other direct care support. The program emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion, aiming to reduce homelessness and recidivism to psychiatric hospitals or correctional facilities.
