Project Roomkey: Emergency Housing for Immediate Protection
Fact Sheet
Urgent Need for Non-Congregate Sheltering
The State of California is acting quickly to protect public health and safety as we respond to novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and is mobilizing every level of government to prepare for and respond to spread of the virus.
California has a demonstrated need for hotel and motel rooms around the State to immediately provide non-congregate shelter options for the sick and medically vulnerable. Individuals lacking stable housing are more likely to use hospital emergency rooms. In some places, individuals experiencing homelessness made up 20% to 30% of all adult hospital emergency room visits. Patients experiencing homelessness are admitted to inpatient units 5 times more often, and have average lengths of stay that are longer than people who have stable housing. Protecting individuals experiencing homelessness will relieve pressure on the hospital system by separating high-risk individuals who are homeless from COVID-positive or persons under investigation (PUI), in order to protect public health and safety for the duration of this Public Health Emergency.
On March 18, 2020 the Governor announced a significant investment to support this urgent need. This includes:
• $100 million directly to local governments and Continuums of Care for shelter support and emergency housing to address COVID-19 among the homeless population, administered by the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, and
• $50 million available to establish occupancy agreements to secure rooms in hotels, motels, and other facilities including trailers, administered by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).
The goal of this effort is to provide non-congregate shelter options for people experiencing homelessness, to protect human life, and minimize strain on health care system capacity. The majority of Project Roomkey expenditures are federally reimbursable under FEMA, for both hotel/motel room occupancy agreements and operating services, at 75 percent federal share of cost. [Care should be taken to ensure that adequate information is collected, and processes followed, to ensure such reimbursement is possible. See FEMA’s procurement guidance for more information.] Therefore, the $150 million investment above leverages significantly more federal funding.
