PATH TA to States and Local Providers Regarding the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness The Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) formula grant program provides flexible, community-based services for people with serious mental illnesses and co-occurring substance abuse disorders who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. AHP provided on-site TA and other activities to help States/Territories and local providers effectively operate and monitor the PATH program. PATH TA was delivered to all 50 states and four territories on-site, by national teleconference calls, and by telephone. In addition, the PATH web site provided immediate availability to audio and text files of information provided by national experts, as well as a Bulletin Board for instant communication among PATH providers. Under several PATH contracts, AHP developed a well-defined method to assess a State’s or provider’s needs, provide TA materials and finalize an assistance plan, and deliver the TA and any follow-up guidance that might be necessary.
