Community Care Expansion (CCE) Preservation Program: Program I

The County of Orange Health Care Agency is soliciting applications from qualified licensed facilities for the Community Care Expansion (CCE) Preservation Program: Program I - Operating Subsidy Payments. The primary goal of this program is to provide funding for the rehabilitation of eligible licensed adult and senior care facilities that serve Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) or Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) applicants and recipients, including those who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Eligible licensed facilities may apply for operating subsidy payments to help offset operating deficits and reduce the likelihood of closure. Key points to consider: • The program aims to preserve existing facilities and prevent closures, reduce the risk of resident displacement into homelessness, and increase the acceptance of new qualified residents. • Eligible facilities must meet the minimum qualifications and requirements as set forth in the RFA, including being an existing licensed Adult Residential Facility (ARF), Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), or Residential Care Facility for the Chronically Ill (RCFCI). • Facilities may receive up to $1,000 per month for each qualified resident, and payments are expected to be issued monthly through March 31, 2029. • The program anticipates funding approximately 25 facilities and benefiting approximately 200 individuals.
