- Your Medi-Cal Plan Will Pay for Your Security Deposit, First Month's Rent, and Even Furniture
Housing Deposits & Furnishings You found an apartment. The landlord said yes. You're so close you can taste it. Then they hand you the move-in cost breakdown: First month's rent: $1,200 Last month's rent: $1,200 Security deposit: $1,200 Utility deposits: $300 Total: $3,900 Your heart sinks. You don't have $3,900. You don't have $900. And just like that, you're back to square one—sleeping in your car, crashing on couches, or staying in a shelter. Here's what they don't tell you: If you have Medi-Cal through Health Net or Health Plan of San Joaquin, that money might already be waiting for you. A family consults with a community health worker about financial assistance for housing deposits and furnishings, as they plan their budget in a furniture store. What Medi-Cal Actually Covers (It's Way More Than You Think) Fact #1: CalAIM Community Supports housing benefits can cover up to $7,500 in move-in costs and furnishings per member—yet fewer than 15% of eligible members ever access this benefit because they don't know it exists. Medi-Cal housing deposit assistance covers: First month's rent Last month's rent Security deposits Utility connection fees (gas, electric, water) Basic furniture (bed, mattress, table, chairs) Essential household items (refrigerator, microwave, dishes, bedding) Medical equipment or environmental modifications (air conditioner if you have asthma or respiratory conditions) This isn't a loan. You don't pay it back. It's a covered benefit under your Medi-Cal plan designed to help you get housed and stay housed. The Invisible Barrier No One Talks About Getting approved for an apartment is only half the battle. The move-in costs create an invisible barrier that keeps people trapped in homelessness even when housing is technically available. Fact #2: Studies show that 68% of people experiencing homelessness who are approved for housing never actually move in because they cannot afford upfront costs—even when ongoing rent would be affordable. You shouldn't lose housing because of money you don't have yet. That's exactly what this benefit is designed to prevent. Who Qualifies for Housing Deposit Assistance? If you're experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, transitioning from incarceration, exiting institutional care, or managing serious mental health or substance use challenges—and you have Medi-Cal—you likely qualify. The catch? You have to know to ask for it. And you have to know how to navigate the system. How Help Is Hope Unlocks This Benefit for You Our care team doesn't just tell you this benefit exists—we help you get it. Here's how it works: Complete our intake form with your housing situation and needs Our team assesses your eligibility for housing deposit assistance We connect you with partner providers who coordinate the funding You get approval for move-in costs before you sign a lease When you're ready to move in, the funds are available—no scrambling, no panic We've helped members go from sleeping in their cars to holding keys to furnished apartments in the same month. The benefit exists. We know how to access it. What This Really Means for Your Life Imagine walking into your own apartment—not a shelter, not someone's couch, not a motel— your place. The fridge is stocked. You have a bed with clean sheets. Your kids have a table to do homework. You can lock the door and finally breathe. That's not a fantasy. That's what this benefit makes possible. Book a session with our care team today and let us show you how to access housing deposit and furnishing assistance through your Medi-Cal plan. Learn more about our Enhanced Care and Community Support services and how we coordinate housing benefits with your overall health and recovery goals. Don't Let Money You Don't Have Yet Keep You Homeless The system is complicated. The paperwork is confusing. The deadlines are tight. But you don't have to navigate it alone. Our care team knows which forms to fill out, which providers to contact, and how to get approvals quickly. We work with partner providers who specialize in housing assistance for Medi-Cal members in the Central Valley. You're one intake form away from a real solution. Not a promise. Not a waiting list. A plan to get you housed with the financial support you need to make it happen. Hope is not a luxury. It is a lifeline. Let us help you unlock the benefits you've already earned.
- The Real Reason People Lose Housing (And the Free Medi-Cal Service That Prevents It)
Housing Tenancy & Sustaining Services Getting Housing Is Hard. Keeping It Is Harder. You finally made it. You have keys. You have an address. You moved in your stuff. You survived the impossible task of getting housed. Then reality hits: The landlord sends a lease violation notice about something you didn't understand Rent is due but your disability check was delayed Your neighbor complains about noise and threatens to call the police You're overwhelmed managing bills, groceries, medical appointments, and everything else Within 90 days, you're facing eviction Fact #1: Nearly 40% of formerly homeless individuals lose their housing within the first year—not because they can't afford rent, but because they lack the support systems to sustain tenancy. This is the part nobody talks about. Getting housed is celebrated. Staying housed is lonely, overwhelming, and complicated. And most people fail because they're doing it alone. A family receives guidance on housing resources from a dedicated housing navigator during an outdoor assistance event. What If You Didn't Have to Do It Alone? If you have Medi-Cal through Health Net or Health Plan of San Joaquin, you might qualify for Housing Tenancy and Sustaining Services —ongoing support designed to help you keep your housing once you have it. This isn't a one-time check-in. This is a dedicated professional who stays with you, helps you navigate landlord relationships, teaches you budgeting skills, mediates conflicts, and connects you to resources before small problems become eviction notices. What Housing Tenancy Support Actually Looks Like Think of it as having a housing coach in your corner. Someone who: Helps you understand your lease and tenant rights Mediates conflicts with landlords or neighbors before they escalate Teaches budgeting and money management so rent gets paid on time Connects you to utility assistance when bills pile up Helps you access food banks, transportation, and other community resources Checks in regularly to identify problems early Advocates for you when issues arise Provides crisis intervention when you're at risk of losing housing Fact #2: Members who receive ongoing tenancy support services maintain stable housing at rates exceeding 85%—more than double the success rate of those without support. Who Needs This? (Probably You) If you've experienced homelessness, you're transitioning from incarceration or institutional care, you're managing mental health or substance use challenges, you're at risk of losing your housing, or you're simply overwhelmed trying to manage everything on your own— you qualify. You don't have to be failing to get help. This service is designed to prevent failure in the first place. The Hidden Cost of "Figuring It Out Yourself" Here's what happens when people try to sustain housing without support: Missed rent payments lead to late fees, then eviction notices Small conflicts with neighbors escalate to police calls and lease violations Lack of knowledge about tenant rights means getting taken advantage of Overwhelming stress leads to relapse, mental health crises, or giving up Eviction goes on your record, making future housing nearly impossible One eviction can trap you in homelessness for years. Housing Tenancy and Sustaining Services prevents that cycle before it starts. How Help Is Hope Keeps You Housed Our care team specializes in connecting Medi-Cal members to tenancy support services through partner providers. Here's what we do: You complete our intake form telling us about your housing situation We assess your eligibility for Housing Tenancy and Sustaining Services We connect you with partner providers who deliver ongoing support You get a dedicated housing support specialist who checks in regularly When problems arise, you have someone to call who knows how to solve them We don't just get you connected and disappear. Our care team coordinates your housing support with your health, mental health, and recovery goals. Learn more about how our Enhanced Care and Community Support services work together to keep you stable. This Is About More Than Just Keeping a Roof Over Your Head Housing stability is the foundation for everything else: Managing your health conditions and attending medical appointments Maintaining sobriety and recovery Keeping custody of your children Holding down a job Rebuilding relationships Living with dignity When housing is unstable, everything else collapses. When housing is stable, everything else becomes possible. You Don't Have to White-Knuckle This You got housed. Now let us help you stay housed. Book a session with our care team and learn how Housing Tenancy and Sustaining Services can provide the ongoing support you need to thrive in your home—not just survive. This is a covered Medi-Cal benefit through CalAIM Community Supports. It costs you nothing. But it could save everything. Hope is not a luxury. It is a lifeline. Let us help you hold onto what you've worked so hard to achieve.
- You Need Health Support From Someone Who Understands Your Community
Community Health Worker Services Why Traditional Healthcare Fails Communities You go to your doctor's appointment. The doctor talks fast. You don't understand everything. You're uncomfortable asking questions. You feel judged. You leave confused about what to do. You don't follow up. Or maybe you need help finding resources. You need to understand how to manage your diabetes. You need support with mental health. You need someone who gets your culture, your language, your community. You need someone who's been where you are. Traditional healthcare providers can't always give you that. But Community Health Workers can. Fact #1: Research shows that members who receive Community Health Worker (CHW) services have 25% better medication adherence, 30% higher rates of preventive care engagement, and 20% better chronic disease management—because CHWs provide culturally competent, accessible support that removes barriers. Here's what most Medi-Cal members don't know: Your insurance covers Community Health Workers—trained community members who provide health education, navigation, advocacy, and connection to services in a language and cultural context you understand. A dedicated community health worker offers support and guidance to a man in need, embodying compassion and care in her role. What Community Health Workers Actually Do Community Health Workers (also called promotores, health navigators, community health representatives, or peer educators) are trained, credentialed professionals who work in their own communities providing health support. Services include: Health Education: Disease prevention and health promotion tailored to your community Chronic disease management support (diabetes, hypertension, asthma) Maternal and reproductive health education Mental health awareness and resources Substance use prevention and recovery support Aging and elder health Health Navigation: Help understanding your health insurance and benefits Assistance scheduling medical appointments Help finding providers who speak your language Navigation of complex health systems Support attending appointments and advocating for yourself Help accessing emergency services when needed Individual Support & Advocacy: One-on-one coaching and counseling Emotional support and encouragement Help problem-solving barriers to health Advocacy for your health needs Peer mentorship and role modeling Screening & Assessment: Health risk screening and early detection Assessment of social determinants of health (housing, food, employment) Identification of needs for additional services Connection to appropriate resources Social Determinants Connection: Help accessing housing, food, transportation, employment Resource navigation for childcare, education, legal services Connection to community programs and support groups Advocacy for systemic barriers Fact #2: Community Health Workers reduce hospitalizations by an average of 20% and emergency department visits by 25% in underserved communities—because they identify and address problems before they become crises. The CHW Advantage: Cultural Competence & Trust Your doctor has medical training. Your CHW has lived experience and community trust. CHWs work within their own communities. They speak your language. They understand your cultural values and beliefs about health. They know the barriers you face. They know the resources that actually work in your neighborhood. They've often faced similar health challenges themselves. People trust CHWs differently than they trust traditional healthcare providers. That trust makes people more willing to follow health advice, more likely to engage with preventive care, and more successful at managing chronic conditions. Who Qualifies for CHW Services? If you: Have Medi-Cal through Health Net or Health Plan of San Joaquin Need health education, disease prevention, or health navigation Want support from someone who speaks your language or understands your culture Are managing chronic disease and need community-based support Are at risk for health problems and need early intervention You likely qualify for Community Health Worker services. CHWs work with specific populations and communities: Prenatal and postpartum women People with chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, asthma) Mental health and substance use populations Aging and elderly populations Children and families Immigrant and refugee communities Low-income and underserved neighborhoods Why This Costs You Nothing Community Health Workers are covered by Medi-Cal as a billable service. Your health insurance plan pays them to provide services to you. You don't pay anything. You don't need a doctor's referral (though you can get one). You just need to know it exists and how to access it. How Help Is Hope Connects You to CHW Services Help Is Hope employs Community Health Workers embedded in the Central Valley communities we serve. They speak multiple languages. They understand diverse cultural approaches to health. They're part of their communities. Our care team connects you with Community Health Worker services through our team or partner providers. If you need health support from someone who understands your community: Complete our intake form and tell us about your health goals and community Our team connects you with a CHW who matches your language and cultural background You receive culturally competent health education, navigation, and advocacy You become more engaged with your health and your healthcare Learn more about how our Enhanced Care and Community Support services include Community Health Worker coordination and cultural competence. Health Shouldn't Require Leaving Your Community Behind You deserve: Healthcare support in your language Health education that respects your culture Navigation help from someone who knows your community Advocacy from someone who understands your barriers Trust-based relationship with your health supporter Book a session with our care team and let's connect you with a Community Health Worker who speaks your language and understands your community. Your Medi-Cal plan covers it. It costs you nothing. Your health and your community deserve this support. Hope is not a luxury. It is a lifeline. Let us connect you with health support from your community.
