Summary of Request

The Federal Government approved the State of California’s Home and Community Based Plan, to allow for a variety of programs administered by the Medicaid program, including the Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program (HHIP). HHIP is intended to improve health outcomes and access to services by addressing housing insecurity and instability as a social determinant of health for the Medi-Cal population.  The goals of the HHIP program are to reduce and prevent homelessness, and to ensure that Medi-Cal managed care plans, including Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC), develop the necessary capacity and partnerships to connect members to needed housing services.

 

The proposed Agreement with Applied Survey Research is funded through Mendocino County’s allocation of HHIP funding from PHC. Through the proposed Agreement, Applied Survey Research will conduct the 2024 Homeless Point-In-Time Census and Survey Project in Mendocino County, in compliance with all HHIP rules and regulations. Due to multiple delays in the negotiation process that precluded drafting the Agreement with an “effective upon signing” date, the prosed Agreement is being approved with a retroactive start date of January 1, 2024.
