RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee, to execute on behalf of County Agreement #78-025 with Blue Cross of California Partnership Plan, Inc. (dba Anthem Blue Cross), to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $650,000 for the Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program (HHIP) to support homeless services, for the period December 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This grant agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $650,000 in funding from the Blue Cross of California Partnership Plan, Inc. (DBA Anthem Blue Cross). No County match is required.










BACKGROUND:

The HHIP is a two-year incentive program from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) that allows community organizations to build partnerships with Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans (MCP’s) to address housing and homelessness. As part of HHIP, the grantor and County will address identified gaps and needs and meet HHIP metrics. With this collaboration Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division (H3) is minimizing the duplication of housing resources and strengthening collaboration between the Health Services Department and private healthcare providers. H3 will utilize funds to increase Coordinated Entry System (CES) services, including racial equity trainings and compensation for people with lived experience to participate in Continuum of Care (CoC) activities, homeless outreach services, and homeless diversion and prevention services.   
  
Approval of Agreement #78-025 will allow the County to receive funds from Blue Cross of California Partnership Plan, Inc. (DBA Anthem Blue Cross) for the HHIP through December 31, 2023. This agreement includes mutual indemnification. This grant was delayed due to the County not receiving the agreement from the grantor until December.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive HHIP funding from the grantor to support homeless services.
