Approve agreement with Yolo Community Care Continuum in the amount of $551,738.30 for the period of February 20, 2024 to March 31, 2026, for the provision of medical respite/recuperative care to clients experiencing homelessness and/or are at risk of homelessness and are experiencing a health or behavioral health need. (No general fund impact) (Sullivan)

Partnership HealthPlan of California (“PHC”) is a non-profit community-based healthcare organization that contracts with the State of California to provide Medi-Cal services under a County Organized Health System model. The federal government approved a Home and Community-Based Services Plan to allow for a variety of programs, including the Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program (HHIP). The goals of the HHIP program are to reduce and prevent homelessness and to ensure that Medi-Cal managed care plans develop the necessary capacity and partnerships to connect their members to needed housing services. On or about January 24, 2023, the County entered into an agreement with PHC to receive funding for a HHIP Program in Yolo County.

As part of the HHIP Program, Yolo Community Care Continuum (“YCCC”) will provide recuperative care and/or medical respite services to individuals who are experiencing homelessness and/or are at risk of homelessness and are experiencing a health or behavioral health need. The services include interim housing with a bed and meals at YCCC’s Haven House (“Haven House”). Haven House provides short-term residential care for individuals who no longer require hospitalization, but still need to heal from an injury or illness (including behavioral health conditions) and would be exacerbated by an unstable living environment. Approval of this Agreement will allow the County to provide these vital services.
