Cooperative Agreement to Benefit Homeless Individuals for South Carolina (CABHI-SC) - The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) will implement the CABHI-SC Program to improve homeless service systems across the state in order to support recovery for and improve the lives of individuals who experience chronic homelessness and Veterans who experience homelessness/chronic homelessness, who have substance use disorders, serious mental illnesses (SMI), or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. The program will primarily serve the population of focus in Richland and Greenville Counties, which includes the metropolitan Columbia area. The program plans to outreach and engage approximately 25 people in Richland County annually and an additional 34 people in Greenville County over the three-year grant, for a total of 109. The program will provide trauma-informed care and Assertive Community Treatment Services (ACT). Other evidence-based practices the program will use include SBIRT screening, Motivational Interviewing, Individual Placement and Support (for supported employment), and SOAR. Placing participants in secure, permanent housing will be a primary function of implementation. Participants will be assisted with enrolling in mainstream benefits. CABHI-SC will seek to achieve two goals: to deliver integrated, comprehensive behavioral health, housing support, employment development, peer, and other recovery-related services and to expand and enhance the statewide infrastructure that contributes to service delivery for the population(s) of focus through the South Carolina Coalition for the Homeless (SCCH). The grant project will assist SC to transform the SCCH into a true statewide interagency council, to integrate information management systems, and to train Emergency Department staff at hospitals throughout the state in how to screen
