More than 500 Unhoused Angelenos to find Housing and Get Medical, Behavioral Health and other Services thanks to $2 Million Investment by Health Net in LA Family Housing

This funding opens doors for hundreds of Angelenos to move into safe, stable homes.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Net, one of California's most experienced Medi-Cal managed care health plans and company of Centene Corporation (NYSE:CNC), awarded a renewal of a $1 million grant to LA Family Housing (LAFH). This marks the second consecutive year of this significant partnership, which directly supports LAFH's innovative Housing Location program and accelerates efforts to secure permanent affordable housing for individuals experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County's Service Planning Area (SPA) 2.

The renewed grant deepens Health Net's partnership with LA Family Housing and expands capacity to address homelessness across Los Angeles. The funding builds systems and infrastructure for whole-person care and increases access to stable, affordable housing for people in need. Through this renewed investment, more Angelenos experiencing homelessness will have the opportunity to secure permanent housing and greater stability.

"There was a time when I didn't think I'd have my own home again," shared a Health Net member who received services through last year's funding. "LA Family Housing's team never gave up on me and helped me find a place that finally feels safe and permanent. Now, I have my own apartment and a second chance to rebuild my life."

Exceeding Expectations: By the Numbers

Strong results drove the decision to reinvest. LAFH committed to connecting participants to 250–300 units but instead acquired 458 units — 183% of its target. Landlord engagement also outperformed expectations: LAFH sustained relationships with 130 existing landlords and added 60 new partners, bringing the total to 190 engaged landlords (146% of target). These outcomes validate the Housing Location program and underscore why Health Net renewed its support.

"With this renewed grant, we're able to create lasting change for so many who need it most," said Dorothy Seleski, President Medi-Cal for Health Net. "Our partnership with LA Family Housing is built on shared values, equity, and community-driven solutions. Every dollar invested brings us closer to building a future where everyone in Los Angeles has a place to call home."

Looking Ahead: Expanding the Impact

Looking ahead, LAFH will expand its housing portfolio by strengthening owner and manager relationships. The grant will help maintain partnerships with 190 landlords and engage 35 additional property partners. LAFH will also host 12 housing events across the year and aims to place 250 individuals into permanent homes.

Beyond direct placements, the partnership will fund new training to share LAFH's unit-acquisition strategies with other service providers, equipping partners with tools to scale impact across the community.

"At LA Family Housing, we know that hope is built one home and one relationship at a time," said Stephanie Klasky-Gamer, President and CEO for LA Family Housing. "Together with Health Net and local partners, we're not just providing housing; we're restoring dignity, creating new beginnings, and empowering people to thrive by working alongside them to secure safe and affordable housing. Our work proves that when we stand together with purpose, we can change lives and transform communities."

From 2020 to 2025, Health Net committed more than $247 million in funding to community-based organizations. Most recently, Health Net awarded a grant to Wesley Health Centers to support housing assistance-related initiatives for seniors.
