ADOPT THE FINAL FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET FOR THE IN-HOME SUPPORTIVE SERVICES PUBLIC AUTHORITY (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The County of San Diego (County) In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program provides in-home assistance to approximately 51,000 Medi-Cal eligible low-income, aged, blind, and disabled adults and children. This program enables them to remain safely in their homes, thereby reducing the need for more costly placements in nursing homes or other care facilities. In-home assistance is provided to IHSS recipients by IHSS caregivers, of whom approximately 75% are relatives. The IHSS Public Authority provides numerous services to over 47,000 IHSS caregivers, including training, payroll services, funding for benefits, and State-mandated caregiver enrollment, including criminal background checks. The IHSS Public Authority also provides registry services to IHSS recipients in need of caregivers.
On June 24, 2025 (IA01), the County IHSS Public Authority Governing Body adopted, by resolution, the recommended IHSS Public Authority administrative budget of $57,470,255 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26.
On June 1, 2026 (1), the County IHSS Public Authority Governing Body received the recommended IHSS Public Authority administrative budget of $66,840,791 for FY 2026-27 and set June 1, 2026, as the start date of public hearings for the budget. Today's action requests adoption of the FY 2026-27 final administrative budget for the IHSS Public Authority by resolution, which is required by State statute. Adopting the FY 2026-27 administrative budget will allow the IHSS Public Authority to continue administering vital programs and services to caregivers and recipients who are part of under-resourced groups by identifying and removing barriers for engagement and participation.
