Support AB-1085: Chair, Assembly Committee on Health

As a next step toward offering meaningful, person-centered health care to people experiencing
homelessness, AB 1085 (Maienschein) would require DHCS to seek federal approval for a Medi-
Cal housing support services benefit in 2024. Setting a deadline will drive plans to develop their
capacity and providers to participate, improve health outcomes among Californians experiencing
homelessness, reduce homelessness, standardize eligibility, and draw down millions of federal
dollars that we are currently not accessing.
