Priority Population Clause Samples
The Priority Population clause defines a specific group of individuals who are given special consideration or targeted focus within a contract or program. This clause typically outlines criteria such as age, income level, health status, or other demographic factors that qualify individuals as part of the priority population. By clearly identifying who the priority population is, the clause ensures that resources, services, or benefits are directed toward those most in need or intended to be served, thereby promoting fairness and effective allocation.

For more information, visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Permanent Supportive Housing Evidence- Based Practices Kit. Housing First Programs must be operated in accordance with Housing First principles. For detail on Housing First, see the National Alliance to End Homelessness’s webpage on the topic. Voluntary Services Grantees must not terminate or deny services to households based on a household’s refusal to participate in supportive services.

Supportive Housing providers work in partnership with various community entities to provide wrap around support, such as mental health services, alcohol and substance abuse services, long term care services, life skills or independent living skills services and vocational services. These services are not billable to CBRA, but are allowable expenses under the FCS program or other supportive services programs.

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.
