BLUEPRINT FOR SERVICES TO END HOMELESSNESS Blueprint for Services to End Homelessness AHP developed the Blueprint for Services for the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) to disseminate state-of-the-art information about ending homelessness for people who have mental and addictive disorders. The Blueprint dovetailed with the Administration’s emphasis on ending chronic homelessness among individuals with mental and addictive disorders. It offered practical advice about how to plan, organize and sustain a comprehensive, integrated system of care to end homelessness. AHP staff researched, wrote, and edited text for the document’s substantive chapters, which discuss population characteristics, the Federal response, core values, evidence-based and promising practices, the elements of a comprehensive system of care, and how to sustain services to end homelessness, among other topics. AHP staff participated in meetings of review teams asked to comment on the draft Blueprint, and then completed the document.
