Hope Has A Home is a 16-bed program with medical respite, temporary housing, behavioral health and social support services for individuals experiencing homelessness in the District of Columbia. It has been designed to improve the health status of participants and connect them to more stable housing while simultaneously reducing healthcare spending for the participating Medicaid population. The program addresses the complex medical, behavioral and social needs of participants, and focuses on their long-term social reengagement.
During the webinar, you will learn more about Hope Has A Home's unique model and financing approach, engage with our partners from the public and private sectors who helped to make the program possible, and hear from individuals that have been served by the program.
