HIA was established in 2021 as a 501 (c)3 organization and associated medical group. Utilizing mobile clinics staffed by healthcare professionals, community health workers, and social workers, our teams travel directly to unhoused individuals living in communities across California, providing services where they reside – including tents, cars, shelters and temporary housing. In meeting patients where they are and supporting their goals, HIA team members build trust – a critical component that can lead to meaningful and positive changes in health and housing.

HIA has been serving Medicaid Managed Care members as a medical services provider, as well as Enhanced Care Management and Community Support Services to patients in unsheltered and sheltered environments. Our staff provide services that reflect the needs of the homeless population, including mental healthcare, substance use disorder treatment, chronic disease care, insurance and other program enrollment and support for obtaining food and housing. The overarching goals of HIA are to improve the health of unhoused populations as well as helping them obtain sustainable housing.

Our mission is to improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness through quality holistic care. It is our vision that all people experiencing homelessness have access to quality healthcare that addresses their mental, social and physical health needs.
