2001 Budget Analysis: Dept Vets Affairs and Vets' Homes (8955-8966)
The Veterans' Home in Barstow is a 400 bed facility that provides multiple levels of care, including a 180 bed skilled nursing facility (SNF), a 56 bed residential care facility for the elderly, and
a 164 bed independent living domiciliary. The Governor's budget proposes $20.7 million ($12.2 million General Fund, $3.5 million Federal Trust Funds, and $5 million reimbursements) for the
support and operation of the home. The population for all levels of care as of December 31, 2000 was 242 residents. This is 66 fewer residents, or a 21 percent decline, from last year's
census. In view of the problems at the Barstow home (discussed below), it is not clear that the home will receive the budgeted level of federal funds and reimbursements.
Serious Problems Cited at Barstow. The Veterans' Home in Barstow has had a number of serious problems since it opened in February 1996. These problems include poor management,
inadequate staff training, and difficulty hiring health care workers. This situation lead to a series of events that culminated in inspections of the home by both the California Department of Health
Services (DHS) and the US Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA). Based on these inspections, the home, in June 2000, lost its Medi-Cal and Medicare certifications along with its federal
per-diem payments (received for each resident). The department has estimated that due to these actions and the lower number of residents, the home will lose $5.9 million of federal funds and
other reimbursement in the current year. Figure 1 (see next page) shows a chronology of major events that lead to the current situation at the Barstow home.
In order to regain certification, DVA entered into a stipulated agreement with DHS that called for DHS to appoint a contractor to serve as the temporary manager for the 180 bed SNF at
Barstow. Based on this agreement, DHS appointed Country Villa Health Services to fill this role and, on January 16, 2001, DVA signed a contract with this company. The term of the contract

Being diagnosed with a mental health condition or seeking mental health care doesn’t automatically put work-related credentials, such as security clearances, at risk. Most employers recognize that healthy employees who get help when they need it are more productive and effective in their jobs than those who aren’t performing at their best because they’re not feeling well.

No. If you don’t qualify for VA health care, you may still be able to get certain health care services, like care for needs linked to military sexual trauma.Call our health benefits hotline at 877-222-8387 to find out what your care options may be.

VA Programs For Homeless Veterans - VA Homeless Programs
Veterans can walk into HPACT clinics without an appointment and receive medical care, case management services, housing placement supports, substance use and mental health treatment, community referrals, triage services, benefits counseling and even hot showers and clean clothes. HPACT has expanded to 57 VAMCs nationally and is currently actively serving. HPACTs are showing promise in improving health and other outcomes among participating Veterans compared with non-HPACT patients. The HPACT model is extensively evaluated through multiple research studies and evaluations. Studies show that Veterans in HPACTs are housed faster, use less acute care services, and receive more specialty care services they need as compared to Veterans not enrolled in an HPACT.

Justice- and Reentry-Related Services

Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) and Health Care for Reentry Veterans (HCRV) Programs
VJO aims to prevent homelessness by helping justice-involved Veterans who have mental health or substance use issues access needed VA clinical services. HCRV specialists work with Veterans to ease their transition from prison back into the community.
How the Programs Work
VJO specialists provide direct outreach, assessment and case management for Veterans in local courts and jails and help them navigate the justice system. Every VAMC has at least one VJO specialist. HCRV specialists meet with incarcerated Veterans before they’re released and assist them in planning for reintegration into the community by accessing VA and community services as well as housing and employment opportunities.

California moves faster to transform mental health system for all, with urgent focus on most seriously ill & homeless | Governor of California
Treatment centers and campuses like the one highlighted today will be possible all across the state thanks to the recently passed $6.38 Billion bond which builds on state-funded construction over the last three years to open new treatment and housing sites with each passing month.
NEW BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSTRUCTION FUNDING: Eligible entities, which include counties, cities, tribal entities, non-profits, and for profits, will be able to apply for funding from the first round of the $6.38 billion bond this summer. This bond application timeline is months ahead of the initial schedule, thanks to the work of the Governor’s internal strike team focused on getting results and implementation as quickly as possible.

DETAILS: The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has issued its bond guidance for behavioral health treatment beds and sites (for $3.3 billion, or 75%, of the $4.4 billion overall, for Launch Ready projects), with the request for application to be posted this summer. Additionally, the California Health and Human Services Agency, California Veterans Affairs Agency (CalVet), and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) at the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency have jointly briefed county, city, and other community and local leaders on their role in implementing this historic transformation and the resources and tools available to them. HCD, with CalVet, will issue its bond guidance for supportive housing ($2 billion overall, with $1 billion for veterans) by end of 2024.

WHY THIS MATTERS: A RAND study and a DCHS needs assessment identified a current gap in behavioral health inpatient treatment beds and outpatient treatment centers in California – making it harder for people to get the treatment they need. Cutting tape and moving faster to get bond funding out means key behavioral health infrastructure sites can be built faster. That means more beds and more treatment slots for Californians who need them to get the support and care they need to get healthy. Similarly, supportive housing units will help re-house and keep housed people with both housing and behavioral health challenges who too often suffer on the streets and in our jails.

 Disabled Veterans' Exemption

Disabled Veterans' Exemption

I didn’t know there was property tax exemption available. Is it too late to file?

You may, subject to a late-penalty, file a claim for the Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption. The law limits the refunds to the current year plus 7 prior years.

The claim form says to file supporting documentation. What documents are requested?

A copy of your DD214 and the formal notification of ratings decision from the VA. For surviving spouse, also submit a copy of the death certificate, marriage certificate and letter of Dependents Indemnity Compensation (DIC). For the Low Income Level, also attach the Low Income Worksheet itemizing all taxable and non-taxable household income.

Do I have to file a claim form every year?

The Basic disabled veterans exemption requires a one-time filing. Upon approval of an initial filing an annual eligibility claim will be sent for subsequent years. If there is no change to your eligibility, then no action is required. The Low Income disabled veterans exemption requires an annual filing. Upon approval of an initial filing a claim form and income worksheet will be sent annually and must be filed before 5:00pm February 15th (or the next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend holiday).
