Chair Stevens on bed reimbursement rates and utilization for HYA beds
Stevens asks about reimbursement rates for the new HYA beds and whether they reflect actual costs, then asks about utilization rates. Haskell reports 98% utilization for crisis HYA beds and 99% for TIL, noting these figures will appear in the MMR but not the PMMR.
What is the current reimbursement rate for those new beds?
And does ZYCD believe it reflects the actual operational cost for providers?
Because I know even when we got the beds, it was like, yay, we got the beds.
We fought so hard.
And it was like, this is not enough money.
So I remember being there.
I was like.
I fought so hard.
Now people are saying it's not enough money.
So, um,
Do we think that the bed rate for those additional beds are adequate?
Of course you're going to say, of course they're adequate.
We think that we believe that they can provide it, but we're going to continue to fight for more.
Great.
So what were the utilized reach and reach for crisis service programs and TEAL program service homeless young adults during the first four months of fiscal 2026?
And were those figures listed as not available in the preliminary mayor management report when they did the report?
The utilization rate for the crisis HOAA beds for that period was 98% utilized, and the utilization rate for the TIL during that period was 99% utilization.
We don't have these numbers in the PMMR.
However, we do have them in the MMR, and all quarters will reflect utilization when we complete the MMR.
Elizabeth said it's okay.
Okay, thank you, Elizabeth.
Thank you.
