Summary of Request:
Through the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) provides funding to operate bridge housing settings to address the immediate and sustainable housing needs of people experiencing homelessness who have serious behavioral health conditions, including a serious mental illness (SMI) and/or substance use disorder (SUD). The primary focus of the BHBH Program is to help people experiencing homelessness who have serious behavioral health conditions that prevent them from accessing help and moving out of homelessness.
Harmony House, LLC provides BHBH Interim Housing services to individuals utilizing their Sober Living Environment (SLE). Services under this Agreement shall be considered Mid Term Housing and Rental Support under BHBH. Sober living under BHBH helps create added sobriety support between residential treatment and independent living for clients that do not have those resources or need additional structure to maintain sobriety.
This Agreement, initiated prior to the new fiscal year, is being submitted for your retroactive approval due to delays resulting from the implementation of updated Policy 1 guidelines.
