Home Base is a collaborative initiative between The Providence Center, the Rhode Island Housing Authority, Brown University, three federally qualified health care centers, a hospital system, a disability lawyer, the office of Medicaid, The RI Department of Behavioral Health and Disabilities, a recovery housing network, RI's largest homeless service provider, homeless advocates and policy makers, and consumers. The project will outreach to 600 people over three years, providing all 600 access to support services. Of those 600, 136 will be matched to permanent supportive housing. The twin goals of Home Base are high quality individualized service and system transformation. These will be achieved by 1) providing chronically homeless individuals with the tools and support they need to gain self-efficacy while reducing the high costs associated with homelessness and 2) implementing a consortium that will bridge different funding structures and resources to create a permanent system to support the chronically homeless.
HHS’ Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System (TAGGS) website provides access to detailed descriptions of grants, loans, aggregated direct payments and other types of financial assistance awarded by the HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs) and the Office of the Secretary Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs).
