The program partners community organizations providing transitional housing with local VA facilities delivering medical care for post-hospitalization veterans to allow for clinical stabilization and ultimately, permanent housing. The program was launched October 2017 at 43 sites. Using mixed methods we aim to assess H2H participant health services utilization and community partner post hoc perceptions and experiences with implementation of the program. We collected 90-day pre/post-enrollment health care utilization data for the first 200 H2H enrollees and conducted semi-structured interviews with six community organizations. Veterans enrolled in H2H had a significant decline in utilization of emergency department and inpatient care (67.0% v. 39.5%, p &lt;0.01) and a significant increase in primary care utilization (47.5% v. 78.0%, p &lt;0.01). Grantees reported the greatest barrier to implementation was concern of patient complexity while the greatest enabler was the perceived value/benefit of the program. Our findings suggest a community-partnered low intensity medical respite model for select lower acuity populations can substantially redirect care away from acute care settings and increase primary care and social services engagement. Community organizations identified the need in their population and, despite initial misgivings, found it feasible to operate.</mods:abstract><mods:subject authority="fast" authorityURI="http://id.worldcat.org/fast" valueURI="http://id.worldcat.org/fast/01165710"><mods:topic>Veterans</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="fast" authorityURI="http://id.worldcat.org/fast" valueURI="http://id.worldcat.org/fast/00959545"><mods:topic>Homelessness</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject><mods:topic>population medicine</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="fast" authorityURI="http://id.worldcat.org/fast" valueURI="http://id.worldcat.org/fast/00962432"><mods:topic>Housing policy</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="fast" authorityURI="http://id.worldcat.org/fast" valueURI="http://id.worldcat.org/fast/01095841"><mods:topic>Respite care</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:language><mods:languageTerm authority="iso639-2b">English</mods:languageTerm></mods:language><mods:recordInfo><mods:recordContentSource authority="marcorg">RPB</mods:recordContentSource><mods:recordCreationDate encoding="iso8601">20210607</mods:recordCreationDate></mods:recordInfo></mods:mods>
