On Tuesday, February 11, from 1-2 pm PT, DHCS will host an all-comer webinar on Flexible Housing Subsidy Pools (“Flex Pools”). A Flex Pool is a locally designed model for centrally administering rental assistance, coordinating, and effectively using available housing supports resources to help people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness enter and maintain stable long-term housing. This webinar is open to all and will be of special interest to Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCPs), County behavioral health providers, county government agencies, Community Supports providers, housing support providers, housing authorities, Continuum of Cares, and other entities engaged in supporting Medi-Cal members who are experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. This webinar will: • Highlight the upcoming release of the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pools: Technical Assistance Resource, which defines Flex Pools; describes their key functions, benefits, and components; and provides information about roles and responsibilities for different partner organizations, including county government agencies and MCPs. • Promote Flex Pools as an effective model for counties and MCPs to consider for administering newly available funding for rent assistance (e.g., Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Housing Interventions, Transitional Rent). • Introduce the upcoming individualized and statewide technical assistance to support entities in regions that have expressed interest in Flex Pools, but have not yet operationalized them, or regions that have begun developing Flex Pools. Attendees will have that opportunity to ask questions during the session.
