H.R.3272: Services for Ending Long-Term Homelessness Act

Services for Ending Long-Term Homelessness Act (H.R. 3272) would require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Abuse to work with other federal agencies to design national strategies for providing services in supportive housing that would assist in ending chronic homelessness and to implement programs that address chronic homelessness. To promote an end to chronic homelessness, HHS would award grants to serve people who have “physical or mental health conditions or substance use disorders and are chronically homeless or at risk of becoming chronically homeless;” and their families in permanent supportive housing, and provide health care and other supportive services, either directly or through coordination with other programs.
