Scattered-Site Housing Program for Behavioral Health Clients

San Mateo County seeks a provider to deliver a scattered-site housing program. This program will offer transitional and long-term rental administration and support services to eligible clients with serious mental illness and substance use disorders. The selected provider must administer the transitional rent benefit through local Managed Care Plans. The program will also manage multiple behavioral health funding streams, including Medi-Cal, BHSA, and other grant funds. The program aims to increase access to permanent supportive housing for individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Services may fund rental subsidies, housing navigation, and landlord outreach.
