   Part D--Safe Havens for Homeless Individuals Demonstration Program
 
Sec. 11391. Establishment of demonstration


(a) In general

    The Secretary may make grants to applicants to demonstrate the 
desirability and feasibility of providing very low-cost housing, to be 
known as safe havens, to homeless persons who, at the time, are 
unwilling or unable to participate in mental health treatment programs 
or to receive other supportive services.

(b) Purposes

    The demonstration program carried out under this part shall 
demonstrate--
        (1) whether and on what basis eligible persons choose to reside 
    in safe havens;
        (2) the extent to which, after a period of residence in a safe 
    haven, residents are willing to participate in mental health 
    treatment programs, substance abuse treatment, or other treatment 
    programs and to move toward a more traditional form of permanent 
    housing and the availability in the community of such permanent 
    housing and treatment programs;
        (3) whether safe havens are cost-effective in comparison with 
    other alternatives for eligible persons; and
        (4) the various ways in which safe havens may be used to provide 
    accommodations and low-demand services and referrals for eligible 
    persons.
