A public hearing for the federal Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) grant will be held Thursday, March 9, 11 a.m. to noon at the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
The meeting, set for 2000 N. Classen Blvd., Suite E600, in Oklahoma City, is held annually by ODMHSAS, which administers the program.
PATH programs provide community-based outreach, mental health, substance abuse, case management and other support services to individuals 18 and older who have a mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorder, and who are homeless. These services help them exit homelessness by connecting them with resources such as income/benefits, housing and long-term behavioral health services.
Written and oral comments will be accepted during the public hearing. Additional written comments will be accepted through March 16 at ODMHSAS, 2000 N. Classen Blvd. Oklahoma City, OK 73106, attention Tammie Vail.
