This regulation establishes priority placement criteria for DC Department of Behavioral Health's Home First Subsidy program for supported housing. Priority is given to consumers pending discharge from Saint Elizabeths Hospital, those who are chronically homeless, and those moving to a less-restrictive environment. The Department retains discretion to grant priority placement on a case-by-case basis for compelling circumstances outside these categories.
