The Home Safe program is one of several California State initiatives created to address homelessness. It is funded through the California Department of Social Services, to assist participating Adult Protective Services programs throughout the state in preventing and remedying homelessness of older adults and adults with disabilities.
The San Francisco Human Services Agency (SFHSA) announces its intent to seek proposals from nonprofit organizations interested in providing intensive case management and purchase of goods and services for the following two Service Types of the Housing Transitions prong of the Home Safe program:
Service Type 1 – Transitions into Permanent Supported Housing (PSH)
Under Service Type 1 – Transitions into PSH, qualified applicants will provide ICM to eligible APS clients who are in congregate shelters, and in need to move into a PSH unit where there is nursing support. This requires collaborative work with the Department of Public Health and housing navigation staff to provide additional client support and guidance for medically fragile or complicated APS clients in congregate shelters, and to ensure connection to long-term entitlement and benefit services to support safe community living. It also requires collaboration with the San Francisco Homelessness Continuum of Care and interdisciplinary APS partners in criminal justice, housing, health, and social services.
Service Type 2 – Transitions into Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE)
Under Service Type 2 – Transitions into RCFE, qualified applicants will provide ICM to eligible APS clients who are in need of long-term care at a licensed assisted living facility, due to their high level of personal and home care needs. APS clients needing placement may be housed or unhoused, including PSH residents, and are no longer able to live safely in an independent setting. This process will necessitate connecting the newly placed APS client into the state funded Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) program for permanent funding, when eligible, or to any other resource or arrangement that will provide permanent funding or meet the client’s need on an ongoing basis.
Target Population
Service Type 1 – Transitions into PSH
The target population is all residents of San Francisco with the focus dependent adults between the ages of 18 to 59, and elders aged 60 and older that have been abused, neglected, exploited, or that are demonstrating signs of self-neglect, and who are in a congregate shelter. The SF Department of Public Health (DPH), the SF Department of Homelessness and Supported Housing (HSH), and SF Homelessness Continuum of Care partners will identify the persons to be served.
Service Type 2 – Transitions into RCFE
The target population is all residents of San Francisco with the focus dependent adults between the ages of 18 to 59, and elders aged 60 and older that are victim of abuse, neglect, self-neglect and exploitation, and who demonstrate the inability to take action to benefit from services that support independent living. These acutely vulnerable adults are need of a licensed assisted living as the least restrictive environment to maintain their safety and wellbeing.
