Behavioral Health Bridge Housing - In June 2023, DHCS awarded “...$907 million of the $1.5 billion in funding for the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program to California county behavioral health agencies (BHA). The primary focus of the BHBH Program is to help people experiencing unsheltered homelessness who also have serious behavioral health conditions, including mental health and substance use disorders, that prevent them from accessing help and moving out of homelessness.” “The BHBH Program will help address housing instability and homelessness by providing support through various “bridge” housing settings, including tiny homes, interim housing, rental assistance models, and assisted living settings.”
