Please clarify BHBH Program requirements related to homelessness and the CARE program, as CARE is not limited to people experiencing homelessness.

Subtopic: Program Requirements

BHBH Program funding must be used to serve individuals with serious behavioral health conditions, including serious mental illness and/or substance use disorder, who are experiencing homelessness. According to CARE Program requirements, specified by SB 1338 (Umberg, Chapter 319, Statutes of 2022), participants must be prioritized for BHBH Program-funded bridge housing.
