Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) is designed to provide intensive outreach services to Lorain County residents, who are homeless or in imminent risk of homelessness AND suffer from a mental illness. The outreach providers connect the individuals or families with mental health services and support to end their homelessness.
PATH SUD (Substance Use Disorders) works alongside the PATH team to support homeless individuals whose primary diagnosis is substance use. The team helps develop a plan for the individual to access eligible services, and provides assistance in obtaining and maintaining these services that include but are not limited to activities of daily living, financial planning, peer support services, vocational services, behavioral health services, and housing services. Referrals to treatment facilities are made as needed.
