Community Supports: Housing & Stability

We provide practical, hands-on assistance to help you find housing, pay security deposits, and stay housed—covered entirely by your Medi-Cal plan.

Real Help for Real Life

“Community Supports” are special services offered by CalAIM to help members with social needs that affect their health. Risen Health Partners specializes in Housing Services.

We understand that you cannot be healthy if you don’t have a safe place to sleep. Our team works directly with landlords, shelters, and hospitals to bridge the gap between healthcare and housing.
