Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness
Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) helps adults and families experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of experiencing homelessness access health care services by providing mental health screenings and referrals to primary care or substance use providers. Program components include street outreach, screening, assessment, rehabilitative skills training, short-term case management, and referrals to mainstream services such as emergency or short-term shelters. Program staff will meet with individuals in the community or at Gulf Coast Center clinics.
