Key Terms

4 terms

medi-cal medical

"one of California's most experienced Medi-Cal managed care health plans"

Medi‑Cal is California’s government-run health insurance program that pays for medical care for low-income individuals and families. It matters to investors because it acts like a very large customer with set payment rules and wide reach: changes in Medi‑Cal enrollment, reimbursement rates, or coverage rules can directly affect revenues and cash flow for hospitals, clinics, drugmakers and insurers that rely on its payments, much like a major client changing contract terms.

managed care medical

"one of California's most experienced Medi-Cal managed care health plans"

A system in which health insurers, networks, or administrators coordinate who provides care, which services are covered, and how much is paid, often using rules, provider networks, and price negotiations to control costs and quality. Think of it like a subscription service that directs where you go and what is paid for; investors care because it shapes how much hospitals, doctors, drugmakers and device makers can charge, how quickly they get paid, and how many patients they can reach.

factory-built housing technical

"Mutual Housing California's innovative approach to factory-built housing designed to serve seniors"

Factory-built housing is homes or residential units that are largely constructed in a controlled factory setting and then transported to a site for final assembly or installation. Like buying a pre-assembled appliance instead of building it piece by piece on-site, this method can lower costs, shorten delivery times, and improve quality consistency. Investors watch it because it can change construction economics, influence housing supply and pricing, and affect the profitability and risk profile of developers, builders, lenders and real estate owners.

predevelopment work technical

"continue to advance planning and predevelopment work for San Juan Apartments Phase Two"

Predevelopment work is the set of preparatory tasks carried out before a formal development program begins, such as feasibility studies, regulatory planning, design, early testing, cost estimates and permit applications. It matters to investors because it shapes the timeline, costs and regulatory risk of a project—like drawing blueprints and getting permits before building a house—so thorough predevelopment can reduce surprises and increase the chance that a project stays on schedule and budget.

Funding supports Green Means Go infrastructure across Sacramento County and senior housing at San Juan Apartments along Stockton Boulevard

SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Net, one of California's most experienced Medi-Cal managed care health plans and a Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) company, today announced a $3 million investment in the Sacramento region to support housing stability and infrastructure, including partnerships with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) and Mutual Housing California. The investment will help increase affordable housing and the infrastructure needed to support it in Sacramento County.

Health Net's Sacramento investment includes:

• $2 million to SACOG to support infrastructure for at least 50 affordable housing units in Sacramento County through the Green Means Go infill accelerator program
• $1 million to Mutual Housing California to provide permanent affordable housing for over 100 seniors in the second phase of the San Juan Apartments

"At Health Net, we understand that where you live can directly impact your health," said Amber Kemp, Vice President of Medi-Cal Strategy, Execution, and Engagement. "That's why we're investing in partnerships that bring together housing, infrastructure and community development. When we work with SACOG and Mutual Housing California, we're helping build neighborhoods that support healthier lives—where families are safe, connected and can live healthier, fuller lives."

$2 million for Green Means Go Infrastructure

SACOG's Green Means Go program serves as a catalyst for cities and counties across the region to address the evolving challenge of reinvesting in urban cores and commercial corridors. The investments have helped add housing closer to where people work and shop to create a vibrant place to live and work, attracting new business and residents.

"This investment reflects the power of aligning housing and infrastructure to create lasting community impact," said Patrick Kennedy, County Sacramento Supervisor and SACOG Board Member. "Through SACOG's Green Means Go program, we were proud to support the first phase of Mutual Housing's San Juan Apartments, creating needed affordable housing—bringing critical infrastructure to a project that will open in May 2026. With continued partnership and investments like this from Health Net, we're building on that momentum to deliver more housing, better connectivity, and healthier communities across the region."

$1 million for San Juan Apartments Phase Two

The investment will support the continued development of San Juan Apartments Phase Two, an expansion of affordable housing along the Stockton Boulevard corridor. The project is part of Mutual Housing California's innovative approach to factory-built housing designed to serve seniors, delivering high-quality, affordable homes more efficiently while supporting older adults to age in stable, healthy environments.

"We're incredibly grateful for Health Net's partnership and their leadership in recognizing the powerful connection between health and housing," said Craig Adelman, CEO of Mutual Housing California. "This investment is more than funding — it's a shared commitment to creating healthier, more equitable communities. At San Juan Apartments Phase Two, we're advancing a factory-built housing model designed to serve seniors with high-quality, stable, and affordable homes. By delivering housing more efficiently, we can reduce development costs while accelerating access to the kind of stable environments that lead to better health outcomes — fewer hospital visits, improved well-being, and greater independence for older adults. Health Net's support allows us to scale this approach — expanding opportunity while ensuring more seniors can age with dignity in communities built for their long-term health."

What's Next

Partners will continue to advance planning and predevelopment work for San Juan Apartments Phase Two and support upcoming Green Means Go infrastructure activities across the region.

Together, these efforts demonstrate how cross-sector collaboration — linking healthcare, social services, housing, and infrastructure — can address drivers of health and strengthen community resilience.
