How it got here
This legislation originated from the need to secure funding for supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals in San Francisco, prompted by state legislation and funding opportunities.
AB 74 was signed into law, establishing the Housing for a Healthy California (HHC) Program to provide supportive housing for individuals eligible for Medi-Cal, aiming to reduce healthcare costs associated with homelessness.
The Department issued a Notice of Funding Availability for the HHC Article II Grants, providing approximately $60 million for supportive housing projects.
The Department awarded $6,798,810 to the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) for the HHC program, subject to specific guidelines and conditions.
MOHCD submitted a resolution to the Board of Supervisors to accept and expend the grant funds for supportive housing projects.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution authorizing MOHCD to execute the Standard Agreement with the California Department of Housing and Community Development for the grant.
