Description
This funding opportunity supports the 260 Forensic Permanent Supportive Housing program, which addresses the housing needs of individuals in Illinois who have been remanded by county courts to the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) for outpatient treatment after being found Unfit to Stand Trial (UST) or Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI). The grant funds immediate temporary housing, pre-tenancy support, and ongoing engagement services to help participants secure and maintain stable housing, with a focus on transition to permanent solutions. The program aims to reduce housing barriers for this vulnerable, justice-involved population, empower participants with limited financial resources, incentivize landlord participation, and promote equity and inclusivity.
