Description:
Strategy 5.2 of California’s Action Plan for Co-Occurring Disorders (COD) calls for the development of a compendium of housing models that meet the needs of persons with COD. This draft document reflects the work of the Housing Committee of the Co-Occurring Disorders Joint Action Council (COJAC). There is a growing recognition of the importance of housing among consumers, providers, state and local government officials, and other stakeholders from multiple
sectors, including sectors that are primarily focused on mental health, substance abuse, homelessness, health care, criminal justice, child welfare, housing and community development. The purpose of this compendium is to create a common language and a framework that can be used across all of these sectors for considering a range of approaches to meeting the housing needs of persons with co-occurring disorders and their families, regardless of the sector responsible for enacting and implementing policy and funding.
