Subject: Request for Correc�on - Agenda Item #9 Report
Councilman Gallagher,
I am reques�ng a minor correc�on to the Community Development 2022 Annual Report as
presented as a “Receive and File” with no ac�on under Agenda Item #9 (see atached).
Referring to Atachment A, page 28 (as printed; page 31 of the PDF), CalOp�ma Health’s
Recupera�ve Care and PACE Center is described as a “Facility serving the homeless, providing
recupera�ve care/post-hospitaliza�on housing and a Program All- Inclusive Care for the
Elderly (PACE).” “Facility serving the homeless,” as the lead for the descrip�on, infers this is
a homeless facility, which is inaccurate.
Per the execu�ve summary as submited by CalOp�ma, the program is “a hybrid two-
pronged program: a Recupera�ve Care and Post-Hospitaliza�on program and a PACE program
(Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) serving CalOp�ma eligible pa�ents regardless of
housing status.” This descrip�on more accurately represents the
purpose and planned use of the facility currently being reviewed.
To put it another way, a hospital, which is required to receive and treat pa�ents
regardless of whether they are housed or unhoused (as is the case here), could be
referred to under this logic as a homeless shelter.
We would like to request this correc�on be made to the report, and that the
atachment be updated in the official staff report posted on the website.
I appreciate your considera�on,
--
