摘要

This guidebook is designed to provide the mental health community with the necessary tools to be active participants in the Continuum of Care process in their community or state. Through participation in the Continuum of Care process, the mental health community can expand and improve housing and supports for people who are homeless and have serious mental illnesses. However, it should be noted that there is no guarantee that the Continuum of Care process will continue to be the main vehicle for distributing federal HUD McKinney Homeless Assistance funds. There have been ongoing discussions between Congress and homeless advocates exploring the idea of distributing these funds as a formula grant to states and localities similar to the model utilized to distribute Projects for Assistance in the Transition from Homelessness (PATH) funds. If this change in federal policy occurs in the future, states and localities receiving McKinney Homeless Assistance funds would be responsible for developing a method for distributing these funds to local governments and non-profit organizations. Regardless of how the McKinney Homeless Assistance funds are distributed, at the local level there will continue to be efforts to organize, streamline, and coordinate homeless programs and systems as part of an overall effort to capitalize on all existing funding opportunities and advocate for change. Thus, no matter what the future holds, the mental health community has a lot to gain by assertively and actively participating in the Continuum of Care system.
