Housing Support

Stable housing is the foundation of whole-person care. Your Care Manager helps you navigate housing resources — including affordable housing applications, Section 8 vouchers, homeless prevention programs, transitional housing options, and rental assistance — through closed-loop referrals. We coordinate and connect; housing availability and placement are determined by the programs and agencies we refer you to.

Housing Support

What Is Housing Support?

Your Care Manager provides guidance navigating housing resources — helping you apply for affordable housing, understand Section 8, connect with homeless prevention programs, find transitional housing, access rental assistance, and coordinate with housing navigators in your county. We work in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties.

We use closed-loop referrals, which means we do not simply hand you a list of numbers. Your Care Manager connects you to the right program, follows up with the partner and with you, and continues advocating as you work through the process. Please note that housing availability and placement decisions are made by the housing programs and agencies we refer you to — we cannot guarantee housing placement.

Who It's For

Who Can Get Housing Support?

Our ECM services support eligible Medi-Cal members with complex health and social needs.

Members Experiencing Homelessness or Housing Instability

Individuals and families without stable housing, or at risk of losing housing, who need help finding and applying to the right programs. Individuals and families experiencing homelessness are an ECM population of focus under Kaiser Permanente.

Families Facing Eviction

Households at risk of losing their home who need rental assistance referrals, homeless prevention resources, or help working with housing navigators.

Members in Transition

Members transitioning out of institutional care — hospital, nursing facility, or other institutional setting — or anyone who needs help navigating affordable housing and Section 8 programs.

Getting Started

2

Receive Referrals

Your Care Manager refers you to the right programs — affordable housing applications, Section 8, rental assistance, homeless prevention, or your county housing navigator.

3

Stay in Touch for Follow-Up

We check back with you and with the partner program to confirm the help reached you, and keep adjusting the plan until housing is stable.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Dignity ADHC ECM place me in housing?
No. We do not own units, operate shelters, or assign housing directly. What we do is help you navigate and apply to programs — affordable housing, Section 8, homeless prevention, transitional housing, rental assistance — and coordinate with your county housing navigator. Then we follow up through closed-loop referrals to make sure things are moving.
What if I am currently homeless?
Individuals and families experiencing homelessness are an ECM population of focus under Kaiser Permanente. Let your Care Manager know your situation right away. We connect you with homeless prevention and transitional housing programs, county housing navigators, and any emergency resources your plan covers, and we stay with you through the process.
Can families get housing support?
Yes. Many housing programs we refer to — including homeless prevention, transitional housing, and Section 8 — serve entire households, not just individuals. If you are facing eviction or instability as a family, your Care Manager will help identify the right programs.
What counties do you serve for housing support?
We serve Medi-Cal ECM members in four counties: Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside. Your Care Manager coordinates with the housing navigators and partner programs in your specific county.
