National Healthcare & Housing Advisors

What National Healthcare & Housing Advisors does

National Healthcare & Housing Advisors (NHHA) is a private, Santa Ana, California-based consulting and program-design firm founded in 2021 by Paul Leon to deliver advisory, training, and direct program implementation for organizations serving vulnerable populations at the intersection of healthcare and housing. The firm operates four Community Care Campuses in California — Long Beach (150 beds), Sacramento (130 beds), Imperial Valley/Heber (80+ beds, expanding to ~100), and Inland Empire — that consolidate recuperative care, behavioral health, street medicine, housing navigation, sobering services, and engagement-center functions under a single integrated whole-person care model. Backed by a $10 million investment from Health Net and the Centene Foundation announced in June 2026, NHHA also delivers project-based consulting engagements spanning strategic planning, implementation oversight, financial modeling, workforce development, and CalAIM-aligned technical assistance to hospitals, managed care plans, county agencies, FQHCs, and nonprofit organizations.

NHHA's technology stack centers on an integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR) system combined with an AI/NLP-enabled data analytics platform that tracks client demographics, program enrollment, diagnosis codes, referrals, exit outcomes, and billing in real time across campuses. The stated proprietary framework — the Whole-Person Integrated Model of Care — connects clinical, behavioral, and housing data to coordinate care plans, with stated capability to identify at-risk individuals and communities proactively using natural language processing of unstructured data sources. The firm is a registered vendor on California's CalAIM DHCS PATH Technical Assistance Marketplace and markets an "Ask Me Now" on-demand coaching service for CalAIM-related topics including Enhanced Care Management, Community Supports, and billing practices.

The company monetizes primarily through professional services: project-based consulting retainers and implementation contracts; managed service contracts with managed care plans for community health worker engagement; and training/TA revenue through individual engagements and the CalAIM PATH marketplace. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is custom per engagement. Distribution is exclusively direct, executive-led outreach to enterprises (hospitals, health plans, government agencies) and partners (Encompass Housing, Whole Person Care Clinic, Health Net, CalOptima, LA County). The firm was founded as a for-profit LLC with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, although funding for specific campus capital projects is sourced from partners such as Health Net, Centene Foundation, and county agencies. Geographic focus is California (32 counties served) with stated expansion into Alaska, Maine, Minnesota, and Washington.
