Operating Subsidy Payment (OSP) Program - Community Care Expansion (CCE) Preservation Program

RFP Description

Location: California. California has a shortage of licensed Adult Residential Facilities (ARFs) and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) that accept individuals receiving or applying for Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) or Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI). Many adult and senior care facilities that accept SSI/SSP or CAPI residents in Sacramento County and across the state are closing or reducing the number of these recipients that they can serve, as benefit amounts have not kept up with the rising cost of housing. The Sacramento County Department of Child, Family and Adult Services (DCFAS), Senior and Adult Services (SAS) Division, is seeking all eligible ARFs, RCFEs, and Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill (RCFCIs) that serve SSI/SSP or CAPI residents, also known as Qualified Residents, that are in need of operational subsidies. Sacramento County DCFAS can provide Operating Subsidy Payments (OSP) to eligible residential adult and senior care facilities for costs associated with the day-to-day cost of physical operations. The intent of OSP is to provide operating subsidies to existing eligible residential adult and senior care facilities to preserve and avoid their closure and/or reduction in the number of beds for qualified residents and resident exits to homelessness.
