Houston Selected for Federal Program, to Receive $12 Million Over Four Years for Homelessness Recovery
On October 2 in Houston, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced eight communities selected for the new STREETS program, which will provide $96 million over four years through SAMHSA.
