Annie Malloy is among the first to receive a new housing move-in benefit. It’s an effort to help homeless and near-homeless people who might otherwise rack up huge medical bills
Annie Malloy of Fallbrook started getting sick in 2020. Fits of uncontrolled vomiting would hit, causing debilitating nausea and severe dehydration that would send her to the emergency room. She couldn’t keep weight on, and the vomiting got so bad she was admitted to the hospital 26 times that year.
Newsom and top state health officials say offering services like housing assistance and healthy food will help keep people from falling into costly institutions, such as emergency rooms.will be tested by California’s unprecedented homelessness crisis, it has worked for Malloy. New Medi-Cal benefits provided Annie Malloy with a rental security deposit, money she said helped her avert homelessness.
CalAIM has so far served only a sliver of Medi-Cal patients in need since it launched in January 2022 — even as tens of thousands of low-income Californians likely qualify. In San Diego County, just 20 Medi-Cal patients have received the housing move-in assistance, according to the state Department of Health Care Services, which administers Medi-Cal.
“Annie was one of the first to get housing deposits, and now we know what it takes,” said Kitty Bailey, CEO of the San Diego Wellness Collaborative, which contracts with Blue Shield and, along with Camorlinga, helped enroll Malloy into the new benefits. “This is really a fundamental shift in health care, and we’re trying our best to help as many people in need as we can, but it’s challenging.”
