California AB804 would expand Medi-Cal to include housing support services for homeless and at-risk individuals.

California AB804 would amend the Welfare and Institutions Code to include housing support services as a Medi-Cal benefit. This bill defines housing support services to include housing transition navigation, housing deposits, and housing tenancy sustaining services. Medi-Cal beneficiaries experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness would be eligible for these services. The Department of Health Care Services would need to complete an analysis to determine if the state's network of providers is adequate to offer these services.
