Capital Projects (CP) - Community Care Expansion (CCE) Preservation Program

County of Sacramento - Child, Family and Adult Services has issued determination of interest, solicitation 2023-DOI-0219.

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 residents 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 (RCFCI) that serve SSI/SSP or CAPI residents, also known as Qualified Residents, that are in need of facility repairs and/or upgrades. Sacramento County DCFAS can provide funding to eligible residential adult and senior care facilities for deferred capital projects (CP) inside or outside the facility, within the facility's property line. In addition, CP funds can be used for repairs needed to ensure a facility's compliance with licensing standards. The intent of CP funding is to preserve existing eligible adult and senior residential facilities in need of repair or required upgrades, thereby, potentially preventing closure, reduction of beds for qualified residents and resident exits to homelessness.

The Community Care Expansion (CCE) Preservation Program was established by Assembly Bill 172 (Chapter 696, Statues 2021) to respond to the shortage of residential adult and senior care facilities that accept individuals receiving or applying for SSI/SSP or CAPI. The California Department of Social Service (CDSS) oversees the program with Sacramento County DCFAS as the local administrator. The CCE Preservation Program provides funding for capital project and operations to ARFs, RCFEs and RCFCIs that serve Qualified Residents that are at risk of closure or at risk of reducing the number of beds for these residents.
