The State of Nevada CABHI-State Funds Project will provide permanent housing, evidence-based treatment, and critical supportive services to chronically homeless men, women, and children with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Three experienced homeless service providers in Clark County-Las Vegas metropolitan area, Washoe County-Reno, and rural Nevada will serve 360 chronically homeless veterans, unaccompanied youth, women with trauma histories, and senior citizens with a Housing First model. Using housing as a foundation for recovery, SOAR-trained case-managers will enroll 75 percent of participants in Medicaid, Medicare, and other mainstream benefit programs. Peer navigators with case managers will engage clients to overcome distrust of long-term homeless clients. Program results include: reduced use of alcohol and other drugs, stable tenancy, less criminal justice involvement, longer retention in services, and increased social connectedness. The State of Nevada will increase its capacity to address homelessness by forming sustained partnerships across government, community, and consumer sectors. Stakeholders will come together in the State Interagency Council on Homelessness to develop a plan to end homelessness. Members will work to streamline Medicaid eligibility and modify provisions to help chronically homeless people access benefits and maintain self-sufficiency. The Vivo Project proposed for the Nevada CABHI-State Supplemental (CABHI-SS) will provide Intensive Case Management (ICM), combining permanent housing, evidence-based treatment, and critical supportive services to homeless veterans with severe mental illness and chronically homeless individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
