Protecting health care for Californians experiencing homelessness.
About the Stay Covered Coalition.
New federal Medicaid changes enacted under H.R.1 will introduce work requirements for many adults and more frequent eligibility reviews. For people experiencing homelessness, unstable housing and limited access to mail, phones, and technology make it difficult to meet requirements and put coverage at risk.
In response to this challenge, we launched the Stay Covered Coalition, bringing together the California Street Medicine Collaborative (CSMC), the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), Homebase, Klurfeld Consulting, and the National Health Care for the Homeless Council (NHCHC), with support from the California Health Care Foundation and CommonSpirit Health.
Over the next two years, the Stay Covered Coalition will share practical tools, resources, and strategies to help eligible Californians experiencing homelessness keep their Medi-Cal coverage.
What you can expect from us.
Practical resources that help organizations support people experiencing homelessness in maintaining Medicaid coverage.
Convening partners and learning spaces across health care, housing, homelessness, and government systems to share best practices.
