National Council for Mental Wellbeing and CSH have partnered to help communities build collaboration between Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) and housing and homelessness sector partners. Materials include this Housing Is Care: Advancing Stability Through CCBHC Partnerships, which establishes a shared framework for collaboration between CCBHCs and housing providers, including supportive housing programs. The framework emphasizes treatment-first principles, accountability, and recovery-oriented outcomes. It outlines practical partnership models that can improve access to services, reduce system fragmentation, and support long-term stability through clinically appropriate housing pathways. The approaches described are intended to be adaptable to state and local policy environments and to leverage existing funding authorities rather than establish new federal requirements.
