Briefing: ACT Program Expansion for Transition-Aged and Older Adults with Serious Mental Illness

This program funds the establishment or expansion of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) programs serving transition-aged youth (18–25), adults, and older adults with serious mental illness (SMI), with particular emphasis on individuals experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness. ACT is an evidence-based, team-based service model that provides intensive, coordinated community-based care to reduce hospitalization and improve community tenure and quality of life. The program targets a vulnerable population with high service needs and poor housing stability, aiming to strengthen the infrastructure and capacity of community mental health systems to deliver this intervention at scale.
