Priority Population. Grantees must prioritize households meeting eligibility criteria for the program that are discharging or needing to discharge or who have discharged from state psychiatric hospitals or community psychiatric inpatient beds within the past 12 months. Households that meet eligibility criteria for the program that are not within the priority population may be served as long as the grantee has made a reasonable effort to ensure that individuals in the priority population have first access to available funds. Upon approval from Commerce, CBRA grantees may set additional local prioritization criteria, based on community need, if the priority population above has been exhausted. Grantees using local prioritization criteria must produce and maintain a prioritization policy that includes a detailed explanation of all priority populations, criteria used to determine an individual is part of priority population, and how they will be prioritized.
