This report presents the preliminary findings of an independent evaluation of Samaritan, a digital health intervention designed to assist people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in gaining the social and financial support they need to reach their goals. California Healthcare Foundation (CHCF), in collaboration with Healthcare LA (HCLA), an Independent Practice Association (IPA), and California Hospital Medical Center (CHMC), supported the implementation of the Samaritan program as a pilot in seven health centers in the Los Angeles area.
The Center for Community Health and Evaluation (CCHE) and MedPOINT Management (MPM) are evaluating this pilot program using a mixed-methods approach.
