Treatment and Homelessness Housing Integration Act of 2025
Homelessness: Connecting Housing with Mental Health Treatment
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the House Committee on Financial Services for review. It is actively moving forward as it waits for the committee to discuss and vote on the proposal. There are no other scheduled actions at this time.
Legislative Progress
While homelessness is a major national issue, this is a small pilot program that currently lacks broad bipartisan support or a companion bill in the Senate.
Key Points
- This bill creates a new pilot program to help homeless people get mental health and substance use treatment. The Department of Housing and Urban Development would give out 10 grants to local organizations that manage housing for the homeless.
- The program is specifically for the five states with the highest rates of homelessness. To be eligible, the local housing group must be located within 50 miles of a certified community health clinic that offers behavioral health services.
- The goal is to make sure people in government-supported housing also get the medical care they need for mental health or addiction. It focuses on individuals who have a disability or are already receiving Social Security disability benefits.
- The bill authorizes $50 million to be spent between 2025 and 2029. Most of the money will go toward the grants, while 10 percent is set aside for training and reporting on how well the program is working.
- Within six months of the bill becoming law, the government must start the program. After the pilot ends, officials must report to Congress on how many people were served and if their health improved.
