EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT
The In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority was established by the State mandate to act as the Employer of Record for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) providers and operate a Registry of Providers. The In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority is a separate legal entity from the County of San Diego, but works as a partner with the IHSS program, serving IHSS providers and consumers. The In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee) advocates for IHSS providers through participation in the California In-Home Supportive Services Consumer Alliance, as well as by engaging stakeholders in caregiver discussion groups and joint meetings between IHSS and community groups. Feedback received in these engagement activities informs program coordination and advocacy efforts.
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT
Today’s action aligns with the County of San Diego (County) Sustainability Goal #1 engaging the community in meaningful ways, Sustainability Goal #2 providing just and equitable access to County services, and Sustainability Goal #4 protecting the health and well-being of everyone in the region. The In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority actively engages service providers and recipients of In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) through the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee). Input received from this Advisory Committee informs investments focused on chronically underserved communities that build resilience in vulnerable populations. Moreover, the Advisory Committee regularly participates in community outreach events to increase awareness of available resources and community partnerships. The In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority ensures that vital services are provided to low-income, aged, blind, and disabled individuals that may have historically been underserved. By administering supports that ultimately enables people to stay in their own homes, in addition to maintaining a high quality of life, the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority reduces the use of resources associated with higher levels of care.
