H.R. 577, the Treatment and Homelessness Housing Integration Act of 2024, directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to create a demonstration program that connects homeless individuals receiving housing assistance with mental health and substance abuse treatment services. The program will award up to 10 grants to local homeless assistance organizations (called Continuums of Care) located in the five states with the highest rates of homelessness per capita, provided they're within 50 miles of a certified community behavioral health clinic. The bill authorizes $50 million in funding across fiscal years 2025 through 2029, with 10 percent available for technical assistance and evaluation. The HUD Secretary must report to Congress within 180 days of the program's conclusion, including performance data and information on how many participants receive disability or supplemental security income benefits.
