California’s CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal) initiative allows housing providers to use Medi-Cal funding to cover housing and supportive services for people experiencing homelessness. As a result, CalAIM can help address funding shortfalls and enable operators of permanent supportive housing to expand their services, providing person-centered care to their residents.
In this webinar, we will provide an overview of some of the challenges housing providers face in integrating CalAIM funding into their properties, as well as highlight models and partnerships that are successfully leveraging CalAIM to improve outcomes for their residents.
This webinar is the second in two webinars focused on opportunities to strengthen supportive services provided to people exiting homelessness. Permanent supportive housing—deeply affordable housing paired with wraparound health and social services—has been proven to help people end chronic patterns of homelessness. However, more resources are required to ensure that residents receive the level of services they need and that properties remain viable in the long run.
These webinars will focus on recent state policies that could unlock more resources for permanent supportive housing.
