Policy Research Report
California’s current homelessness crisis is unprecedented. In early 2020, more than 160,000 persons experienced homelessness on any given day, representing a 40% increase since 2015. Effects on individuals experiencing housing insecurity and the community's public health have been profound, including recent outbreaks of hepatitis A and typhus in communities experiencing homelessness.

Journal Article
The number of Californians covered by Medi-Cal increased more than 50% between 2013 and 2018, largely due to expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This rapid expansion of Medicaid rolls prompted concerns that Medi-Cal enrollees would face greater difficulty accessing health care.

Research Report
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program, providing health insurance to Californians with low incomes, including about 40% of the state’s children, half of Californians with disabilities, over a million seniors, and about one in six working adults. In total, the program covers around 13 million Californians, nearly one-third of the state’s population. However, coverage alone does not guarantee access to health care services or affordability.

Research Report
2020 was a devastating year for our entire world — a year of challenges, of inequality, of loss. For public health, it was a year of upheaval and uncertainty, and a crucial call to action. At the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, we answered that call and delivered on our core mission: to improve the public’s health through high-quality, objective, and evidence-based research and data that informs effective policymaking.
