Making sure the money is there

State pro­viders lever­age Medi-Cal funds to help keep people off the streets. At the non­profit Mid­Pen Hous­ing, which serves 12 counties in and around the San Fran­cisco Bay Area, roughly 40% of the units in the pro­gram’s pipeline are ear­marked for “extremely low-income” people, a group that includes those who are home­less, said Dani­elle McClus­key, senior dir­ector of res­id­ent ser­vices. CalAIM reim­burse­ments help fund the part of Mid­Pen that focuses on sup­port­ive ser­vices across a wide range of exper­i­ences, such as chronic home­less­ness, men­tal health issues and those leav­ing the foster care sys­tem.
