5. COUNCIL ON HOMELESSNESS POLICY ROLE AND UPDATES (ACTION ITEM) Jaime Jenett, H3 Doug Leich, Chair CCIH Residents Empowerment Program (REP) Possible action to send recommendation of support to Board of Supervisors for state bills SB 282, AB 307 and SB 361 and SB 329.
TOOLS FOR ADVOCACY • Role of BOS policy platforms • Role of Council • Role of H3 • Endorsements by Housing CA and EBHO
SB282 (BEALL) SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE ON PAROLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS People on parole experiencing homelessness are seven times more likely to recidivate than people on parole who are housed. Integrated Services or Mentally-Ill Parolees (ISMIP) was intended to serve people with serious mental illness on parole who were also experiencing homelessness. Instead, it pays 100% of the costs of mental health treatment for people with serious mental illness. Medi-Cal could use federal dollars to pay 50-90% of these costs. ▪ Participants must reestablish treatment within Medi-Cal mental health programs once they exit parole ▪ Participants only receive average of 10 months of mental health services before dropping out ▪ ISMIP fails to reduce recidivism
