Treatment and Homelessness Housing Integration Act of 2024

# Treatment and Homelessness Housing Integration Act of 2024 **What the Bill Does** The Treatment and Homelessness Housing Integration Act would create a federal program to help people experiencing homelessness by combining housing with mental health and substance abuse treatment services. The bill aims to integrate these services so that people get both a stable place to live and access to medical care and counseling in one coordinated effort, rather than treating housing and treatment as separate programs. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill primarily affects people experiencing homelessness who struggle with mental health issues or addiction, as well as organizations that provide housing and healthcare services. The bill would likely establish oversight mechanisms and performance measurements to track whether the program successfully reduces homelessness and improves health outcomes.

It addresses federal funding for both housing development and community health facilities that serve this population. **Current Status** As of now, HR 577 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Ken Calvert (R-CA) and has not advanced further in the legislative process.
