Housing is key to your health Lack of stable housing and homelessness can negatively impact your physical and mental health. Are you having trouble paying rent and utilities? Did you receive a warning or eviction notice from your landlord? Resources are available to help.

You may be able to get help with unpaid rent and utilities dating back to April 1, 2020, as well as future rent payments. Renters and landlords are encouraged to apply.

Message brought to you by the Housing for Health Division of Santa Cruz County, homelessactionpartnership.org . The Alliance is conducting member surveys. We want to hear how we can better serve you! You might get a survey in the mail or a phone call. If you get a survey in the mail, we ask you to take a few moments to fill it out and return it using the mailing envelope included. The survey is called the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (also known as CAHPS) and asks members: ■ How happy they are with their doctors. ■ How happy they are with their care. ■ How happy they are with their health plan. This survey is mailed to a random group of Alliance members each year. The Alliance uses the results of the survey to improve the services and programs we provide to you. This survey is anonymous and will not affect your care. We value your opinion! Tell us how we are doing! 4 Living Healthy
