Mental Health Services

The Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program provides services to people with serious mental illness, including those with co-occurring substance use disorders, who are experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of becoming home-

less.

There are nearly 600 local organizations that provide PATH ser-vices. Local PATH programs offer services including outreach, ha-bilitation programs, community mental health, alcohol and drug

treatment, and case management services.

The New Horizons Behavioral Health PATH Program of Columbus, Georgia desires to see every individual in our city under a roof in a warm bed at night. The New Horizons PATH Program seeks to collaborate with area landlords and employers to bridge the gap between housing and the homeless and between employment and

the unemployed.

It is our hope through our quarterly newsletter that we share with the community stories of hope, challenges and triumph. We want to share the stories of those who are in the trenches with us to help

fight against homelessness and poverty.

member of the New Horizons PATH Team at
