San Francisco officials are hopeful that, by ensuring people released from jail can smoothly transition into their health coverage, The City can save lives and money on emergency services.
People incarcerated in San Francisco County Jail will soon be able to maintain their health insurance coverage when they're released, thanks to a $660,000 state grant.
"The state is rolling this out, it's providing these funds to get all the county jails and the prisons kind of prepared for that," she said. That infrastructure will center on aligning other city systems with the sheriff's office, with much of the funding directed toward IT needs and hiring at least two Department of Public Health employees who can facilitate the process. Some will go toward building privacy pods in the jail, providing incarcerated people a confidential space to enroll in services.
