The HHC program is funded from the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) and provides supportive housing for individuals who are recipients of or eligible for health care provided through the California Department of Health Care Services, Medi-Cal program.
The goal of the HHC program is to reduce the financial burden on local and state resources due to the overutilization of emergency departments, inpatient care, nursing home stays and use of corrections systems and law enforcement resources as the point of health care provision for people who are chronically homeless or homeless and a high-cost health user.
Program Overview
Assistance Type and Terms
AB 74 direct HCD to utilize 2018-2021 federal National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) allocation for HHC. HCD must submit for three years a federal NHTF allocation plan starting in August 2018 that aligns with federal NHTF and AB 74 requirements. HCD will allocate these funds competitively to developers for operating reserve grants and capital loans.
AB 74 also allows HCD to utilize revenues appropriated to HCD from other revenue sources for HHC purposes. For FY 2018 only, HCD will allocate a portion of moneys collected and deposited into the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund for the HHC program. HCD will allocate these funds competitively to counties for acquisition, new construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, administrative costs, capitalized operating subsidy reserves (COSR), and rental subsidies and rental assistance for existing and new supportive housing opportunities to assist the HHC program’s Target Population.
