Elderly homeless man leaves hospital for short-term housing and recuperative care.
Elderly homeless man leaves hospital for short-term housing and recuperative care.

The hospital is ready to discharge you. But you're homeless. You can't go back to the street—you just had surgery, or you're on IV antibiotics, or you need rest. The hospital knows this. They can't discharge you safely.

So you're stuck. Taking up a hospital bed. Costing thousands of dollars per day. When what you really need is temporary housing with some medical support while you recover and find permanent housing.

Here's the truth: Homeless patients stay in hospitals 3 times longer than housed patients because they have nowhere safe to discharge to. And it costs $2,500 per day to stay in the hospital. There's a better way.

You can get temporary housing after hospitalization. For free.


Free Temporary Housing After Hospital—30 to 90 Days

If you have Medi-Cal and you're homeless and being discharged from the hospital, you can get free short-term housing:

What You Get:

  • Safe housing for 30-90 days after hospital discharge

  • Medical monitoring (not as intensive as recuperative care, but staff checks on you)

  • Help with medications and follow-up appointments

  • Case management to find permanent housing

  • Time to recover before going back to the street

What It Looks Like:

  • Private or shared room

  • Meals provided

  • Shower and laundry

  • Staff to help coordinate your care

  • Bridge to permanent housing

Who Needs It:

  • You're homeless and being discharged from the hospital

  • You're too well for recuperative care but not well enough for the street

  • You need a safe place while finding permanent housing

  • You need time to stabilize before community living

People in Modesto, Stockton, and Merced are getting post-hospital housing right now instead of being discharged to the street. You could too.


Here's What Happens Without Temporary Housing

You already know. The hospital discharges you to the street. You can't rest. You can't keep your wounds clean. You miss follow-up appointments. You get worse. You end up back in the ER. Back in the hospital.

Homeless people discharged without housing support are readmitted within 30 days 40% of the time. Because the street is not a place to recover.

Don't let that happen.

Here's What to Say (So You Qualify)

How you describe your situation matters. Never lie. But frame it right.

❌ DON'T say: "I'm ready to be discharged." ✅ DO say: "I'm homeless and being discharged from the hospital. I need short-term post-hospitalization housing to prevent readmission and street homelessness."

❌ DON'T say: "I need somewhere to stay." ✅ DO say: "Without temporary housing after discharge, I'm at high risk of readmission, complications, and medical instability. I need transitional housing."

❌ DON'T say: "The hospital wants me to leave." ✅ DO say: "I'm experiencing homelessness with acute medical needs post-discharge. I need short-term housing to bridge to permanent placement."

The difference? One meets criteria. One doesn't. Both are true. Frame it right.


Is This Really Free?

Yes. Completely free.

If you have Medi-Cal and you're homeless and being discharged from the hospital, temporary housing can be covered.

No co-pay. No bills. No rent. Food included.

Even if you own a car (you're living in), you still qualify. Medi-Cal doesn't count that anymore.

The only "catch" is it's temporary—30 to 90 days. But case managers help you find permanent housing during that time.


This Could Save Your Life (And Save the Hospital Money)

Imagine this: The hospital discharges you. Not to the street. To a clean room with a bed. You have meals. You have support. You rest. You heal.

For 60 days, case managers help you apply for permanent housing. You get approved. You move into your own place. You never went back to the hospital. You're housed.

That's what this does. Free temporary housing. Throughout California serving Modesto, Stockton, and Merced.

You'd be crazy to get discharged to the street when free temporary housing exists.

Who Gets Post-Hospital Temporary Housing?

If you have Medi-Cal and any of this sounds like you:

✓ You're in the hospital now and you're homeless ✓ You're being discharged but have nowhere to go ✓ You need time to find permanent housing ✓ You're not sick enough for recuperative care but too sick for the street ✓ The hospital social worker can't find you a discharge plan

Then you probably qualify.

Real examples from the Central Valley:

  • A man in Modesto discharged after pneumonia got 60 days housing—found permanent housing during that time
