Our Initiatives

CalAIM

The California Advancing & Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) is a broad Medi-Cal transformation effort to create more equitable, coordinated, and person-centered care. Through the Housing & Homelessness Incentive Program (HHIP), Sacramento Steps Forward is supporting the integration of CalAIM services into the local homeless response system

Coordinated Access System

The Sacramento City and County Continuum of Care, City of Sacramento, and County of Sacramento pooled resources to create the Coordinated Access System (CAS) aimed at ensuring people needing services have streamlined and clear paths to access the right help.

Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan

This plan is the next step in our efforts to collaboratively and strategically address homelessness. Building off the progress made under the LHAP, this plan secures crucial Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) funding and defines impactful solutions.

Sac. Homeless Policy Council

The Sacramento Homeless Policy Council (SHPC) was launched to promote regional collaboration to end homelessness. The SHPC comes together to engage in broad-based, collaborative, and strategic discussions in response to Sacramento’s homelessness crisis.
