Nation’s Finest to change bunk-bed model, seeks funds after CalFresh loss
Summary
Nation’s Finest told the HHHC EC its shared bunk-bed model has not worked; staff are leasing office space to convert rooms to lower-bunk living areas and are seeking funding to offset a lost CalFresh grant that had supported a nutritionist and outreach.
Nation’s Finest reported to the committee that its existing bunk-bed shared-occupancy model has proven ineffective and that the organization is leasing office space to convert two rooms into lower-bunk living areas intended for better shared-living arrangements. The provider said it is pursuing funding to replace services and staffing previously supported by a CalFresh grant, which funded a nutritionist, food, supplies and outreach.
Staff framed the shift as moving toward integrated services with cross-trained staff rather than running siloed grant programs. The committee acknowledged the program change and the need to secure replacement funding to sustain food and nutrition supports for veteran clients.
