The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall take appropriate action to— ensure that discretionary grants issued by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery fund evidence-based programs and do not fund programs that fail to achieve adequate outcomes, including efforts termed as harm reduction or safe consumption efforts; provide technical assistance to assisted outpatient treatment programs for unhoused individuals with serious mental illness or addiction administered by the Secretary during and after the initiation of any civil commitment process under section 4246 of title 18, United States Code, that are focused on assisting such individuals in finding private housing and support networks; and ensure that Federal funds for Federally qualified health centers (as defined in section 1861(aa) of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1395x(aa) )) and certified community behavioral health clinics (as described in section 223 of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 ( 42 U.S.C. 1396a note;
Public Law 113–93 )) reduce, rather than promote, homelessness by supporting, to the maximum extent permitted by law, comprehensive services for unhoused individuals with serious mental illness and substance use disorder, including crisis intervention services. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall coordinate with the Attorney General and other relevant agencies to ensure that Federal resources support the transfer of eligible persons to mental hospitals or asylums, including those returned from foreign countries who have been legally adjudged insane.
