People admitted to homeless shelters and housing programs would be offered drug and alcohol treatment.
This bill would require housing programs that receive federal money to offer drug and alcohol treatment to individuals with substance use disorders who are admitted to their shelters or housing. This means individuals entering these programs would have a guaranteed offer of evidence-based treatment options. Unaccompanied minors would be exempt from this requirement.
Today, housing programs receiving federal money for emergency shelter, transitional housing, or permanent housing are not explicitly required to offer substance use disorder treatment. If this bill becomes law, these programs would be required to offer evidence-based drug and alcohol treatment to individuals with substance use disorders they admit, with an exception for unaccompanied minors.
