For 75 San Joaquin County Families, Affordable Housing May be Within Reach thanks to Health Net

The company's $3 million investment will help create 75 affordable homes for income-qualified Stockton families.

STOCKTON, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Net, one of California's most experienced Medi-Cal managed care health plans and company of Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC), today announced a $3 million investment in the San Joaquin Regional Housing Fund. The funding will provide grants and low-interest loans to accelerate affordable housing developments and support the creation of at least 75 affordable homes for Stockton families facing some of the region's most significant housing challenges.

"A home is so much more than a roof overhead. It's the place where families feel safe, children can grow and learn, and people can focus on their health and well-being," said Dorothy M. Seleski, Medi-Cal Plan President at Health Net. "Too many families in our communities are struggling to find housing they can afford. By partnering with the San Joaquin Regional Housing Fund, we're helping create more opportunities for families to put down roots, build stability and look toward the future with greater confidence. Together, we're investing in healthier communities by helping more people find a place to call home."

The investment will support community-driven housing developments, with a focus on serving families facing the greatest barriers to affordable housing, including households earning between 30% and 50% of the area median income.

"When local organizations unite around a shared goal, communities move forward," said San Joaquin Regional Housing Fund Board Chair Gary Singh. "Health Net's investment will help transform plans into homes for local families while encouraging broader community participation in addressing the region's housing needs."

The investment will support eligible projects through January 2029, from planning through construction.

"Investments in affordable housing are investments in the health, strength and future of our communities," said San Joaquin County Supervisor Robert Rickman. "By bringing public, private and community partners together, we can help more San Joaquin County families find stable housing and create lasting opportunity across the region."

In Sacramento and San Joaquin counties, Health Net has invested a combined $11 million in affordable housing and related initiatives, including $2 million to Stanislaus Equity Partners, Inc. (STEP) and $3 million to Fairview Terrace. By supporting developments at every stage, from planning and financing to construction and occupancy, Health Net is helping expand access to affordable housing, strengthen local communities and create the conditions for better health across the region.
