Committee forwards $3.75 million Homes for the Homeless Fund grant to pilot placement solutions for behaviorally complex patients
Summary
The committee voted to forward a two‑year, $3.75 million grant from Homes for the Homeless Fund LLC to DPH/SF Health Network to pilot placement solutions for patients and tenants whose needs exceed current permanent supportive housing capacity.
The Government Audit and Oversight Committee on June 4 voted to forward a grant agreement that would allow the Department of Public Health and the San Francisco Health Network to accept approximately $3.75 million from the Homes for the Homeless Fund LLC over two years.
Dr. Todd Barrett, chief medical officer for the San Francisco Health Network, said the grant will fund a pilot to analyze system barriers and deliver interdisciplinary transitional services for patients and tenants with complex behavioral needs who exceed current permanent supportive housing capacity. The goal is to design services that can be evaluated for fiscal stewardship if implemented at scale.
The transcript indicates the Homes for the Homeless Fund (a fiscal intermediary for a housing accelerator fund subsidiary) will serve as the grantor for a two‑year pilot beginning July 1, 2026 and running through (as presented) mid‑2028, with the grant amount cited at $3,750,000. Committee members had no questions and no public comment was offered. The Chair moved to forward the grant agreement to the full Board with a positive recommendation; the committee recorded two "aye" votes and the motion passed.
