Adventist Health System/West ("Adventist Health") proposes to use $985,000 in congressional funding to enhance services for unsheltered community members in the California counties of Lake, Yuba and Sutter. According to Partnership HealthPlan, an estimated 3,000 lives are experiencing homelessness in Lake County alone; this has exacerbated the prevalent issues these community members face, such as substance use, mental health, housing and access to care. Currently, Adventist Health offers a housing first model for medical respite and supportive housing for medically fragile, high-utilizing complex care patients. Adventist Health provides this through two locations in the City of Clearlake, the Restoration House -- a 10-bed transitional living environment -- and through the Hope Center -- a 20-bed low-barrier entry transitional housing program. Based on the successes of the Restoration House, Adventist Health aims to achieve two goals with this project: Goal 1: Respond to increased community health needs for the existing Restoration House. Goal 2: Open a Restoration House in the counties of Yuba and Sutter, using the same staffing and operating model as in Clearlake. Funding will specifically be used to support personnel expenses, furnish clinical and housing items (such as hospital beds) and offset the needed leases.
