The University of Nebraska Public Policy Center and the Center on Children, Families and the Law are part of a new collaborative effort to combat chronic homelessness in Lincoln. The organizations will work with Region V Behavioral Health Systems, CenterPointe and the Mental Health Association of Nebraska to provide housing; behavioral health treatment; and peer and employment supports to people experiencing chronic homelessness and serious behavioral health disorders. Funding for the project comes from a three-year, $1.9 million grant from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
