Using housing data to address Medi-Cal member needs: A guide for managed care plans

This guide offers guidance for MCPs looking to better understand the housing status of their members through data and how to use these data to meet the housing and health needs of members experiencing housing instability. A companion matrix, Data Sources for Determining Members’ Housing and Homelessness Status, provides detailed information on data sources that Medi-Cal MCPs can use to develop an efficient housing data strategy. While developed for the California context, this guide and companion matrix can inform other states seeking to improve services for individuals experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.
