BLUEPRINT
FOR CHANGE Blueprint for Change: Ending Chronic Homelessness for Persons with Serious Mental Illnesses and/or Co-occurring Substance Use Disorders The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and its Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) developed a Blueprint for Change to disseminate state-of-the-art information about ending homelessness for people who have mental and addictive disorders. The Blueprint offers practical advice for how to plan, organize, and sustain a comprehensive, integrated system of care designed to end homelessness. AHP staff researched, wrote, and edited text for the document’s substantive chapters. Topics include population characteristics, the federal response, core values, evidence-based and promising practices, the elements of a comprehensive system of care, and how to connect people who are homeless to mainstream services.
