    [Anchorage – October 3, 2011] - The Rural Alaska Community Action Program, Inc. (RurAL CAP) announces it has been awarded one of 14 grants in a nationwide request for proposals by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals grant award totals $1,477,000 to be spent over a three year period in support of the Home Again project. RurAL CAP will partner with the Anchorage Community Mental Health Services to provide four new mobile case managers to work directly with the homeless to get them safely housed and give them access to services.

    The Home Again project will address the complex issues of access to treatment, support, permanent housing and mainstream benefits for individuals with co-occurring disorders who experience chronic homelessness in Anchorage. The goal of the Home Again is to place individuals into permanent housing and to provide them with the resources and skills necessary to maintain safe and secure housing.

    Funding for this program will directly increase the number of mobile case managers serving the homeless in Anchorage. Home Again is a partnership between RurAL CAP, the Anchorage Community Mental Health Services and a multidisciplinary Community Consortium that includes Cook Inlet Housing Authority, Cook Inlet Tribal Council, Salvation Army Clitheroe Center, Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center, Southcentral Foundation, Municipality of Anchorage, Anchorage Continuum of Care, Child in Transition Program, Thread Alaska, and Alaska Department of Health and Social Services.
