BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Addictions to Alcohol (AAA) targets housing and services to chronically homeless
individuals who have a long- term addiction to alcohol and will strengthen and formalize
PCH’s linkages with the County’s law enforcement and court system. This project provides
rental subsidies for scattered-site, one-bedroom apartments throughout Contra Costa
County.
PCH-AAA includes: 1) identification of chronically homeless serial inebriates through
outreach to encampments and through collaboration with law enforcement agencies and the
courts; 2) assessment and stabilization of chronically homeless serial inebriates on a
case-by-case basis through programs such as residential treatment, detoxification or jail
diversion programs; 3) client placement into permanent housing; and 4) provision of
appropriate supports including alcoholism treatment services, assistance in accessing
mainstream benefits, and other relevant services.
