Allegheny County Department of Human Services (ACDHS) seeks to enhance its effectiveness and quality of services for adult individuals experiencing homelessness who have a cooccurring disorder (COD). The primary goal of this program is to improve housing stability and wellbeing of adults experiencing homelessness who have COD. This will be achieved by providing person-centered, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive and recovery-oriented service coordination in a low barrier, facility based Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program. Key objectives of the program will be to stably house at least 40 individuals with COD by the end of the grant term, reduce accidental overdose deaths among PSH participants, increase SUD treatment engagement among service participants, and improve wellbeing of participants across individually identified wellness indicators pertaining to mental illness and substance use. The program will house and serve 20 individuals at a time and is expected to serve 40 unduplicated individuals over the full grant term.
