California’s CalAIM vision is right—but community-based providers are being asked to carry financial and operational risk the system itself

As California prepares for the Housing California Conference, one theme continues to rise to the surface: ending homelessness requires more than vouchers—it requires community-rooted systems that work.

Mysti’s expansion into Contra Costa County represents a long-term commitment to strengthening California’s CalAIM initiative and building capacity across multiple counties. Our work across Monterey County, Santa Cruz County, and now Contra Costa County reflects our dedication to improving housing stability, access to health services, and system coordination for individuals with the highest needs.
