Community Health Workers
Community Health Workers (CHWs) serve as a crucial link between individuals and essential services, addressing housing instability as a key factor in overall well-being. At La Familia Sana, our CHWs specialize in housing assistance, helping individuals and families navigate complex systems to secure stable living conditions.​​
What Our CHWs Do:
-
Housing Assistance & Navigation – Helping individuals apply for housing programs, understand eligibility, and connect with landlords or housing agencies.
-
Advocacy & Case Management – Supporting clients throughout the housing process, providing follow-ups, and coordinating with other agencies.
-
Access to Healthcare & Social Services – Connecting individuals to Medi-Cal benefits, mental health services, and other essential resources.
-
Community Outreach & Education – Identifying those at risk of homelessness and providing information on available housing solutions.
Who Qualifies for CHW Services?
CHW services are available to anyone with Medi-Cal or a participating managed care plan. Thanks to California's CalAIM initiative, non-profit organizations like La Familia Sana can now provide housing assistance through CHW services, recognizing the connection between housing stability and health.
​
This program is covered through Medi-Cal Partnership Insurance, which enables La Familia Sana to serve more individuals efficiently and expand access to critical housing support.
​
Our CHWs work in collaboration with healthcare providers, government agencies, and community organizations to ensure that those in need receive comprehensive support. If you or someone you know is experiencing housing challenges, we are here to help.
