Access
to comprehensive housing information for Tennesseans with mental
illness or co-occurring disorders, their family members, mental
health service providers, housing developers, policy makers and
other stakeholders is provided through this program.
This consumer-directed project, funded by a Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services Real Choice Systems Change
grant, employs Consumer Housing Specialists to reach out with
housing information and education, features a website that is
updated daily, a longitudinal evaluation study of the impact of
stable housing on the recovery of the target population, and a
campaign to address mental health stigma and housing discrimination.
