The Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program assists individuals in accessing housing, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, disability benefits, and other services to stabilize them and facilitate recovery. Persistent and consistent outreach, and providing services at the individual’s pace, are important steps to engage people with serious mental illness who are homelessness. PATH ‘eligible’ means that an individual has a serious mental illness, or serious mental illness and substance use disorder, and is experiencing homelessness or is at imminent risk of becoming homeless.

Additional services include screening and diagnostic treatment, habilitation and rehabilitation, referrals for primary health care, job training, educational services, and housing placement. Quantifiable objectives include:
* The number of homeless persons contacted.
* The percentage of contacted homeless persons with serious mental illness who become enrolled in PATH services.
* The percentage of enrolled homeless individuals who receive community mental health services.
* The number of PATH providers trained on SSI/Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR) to ensure eligible homeless clients are receiving benefits.
