The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is pleased to host a webinar on the updated Community Supports Policy Guide, Volume 2, released April 30, 2025. Community Supports are optional services that help Medi-Cal managed care plan (MCP) Members improve their health and quality of life by addressing housing and social needs. Volume 2 covers seven Community Supports specifically designed to support Members experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including the newest service, Transitional Rent, which covers up to six months of rental assistance.
Transitional Rent will be optional for MCPs beginning July 1, 2025, and mandatory starting January 1, 2026. This webinar is intended for MCP staff, Community Supports providers, housing-focused organizations, local government partners, and other stakeholders serving individuals experiencing housing insecurity. Please join us to learn more about the new Transitional Rent service, along with the updates that have been made to the other housing-related Community Supports service definitions.
