• Description:
  The Mental Health Services for the Homeless Block Grant Program has made available more than $57 million to the States in fiscal years 1987-89 to encourage States to develop and strengthen community services for homeless mentally ill persons. Funds were provided for five basic services, which include outreach, case management, mental health treatment, residential support services, and training for service providers. State applications for funds reflected considerable diversity among the services proposed. The manner in which States proposed to use the funds is described, including methods used to identify high need areas and distribute funds and plans for delivering services.
