Five-year (2022-2027), $1.85 billion effort of DHCS, focused on building the capacity of CBOs, public hospitals, county agencies, tribes, and other organizations to successfully participate in Medi-Cal’s CalAIM initiative, specifically to “…build up the capacity and infrastructure of on-the-ground partners to successfully participate in the Medi-Cal delivery system and implement ECM, Community Supports, and Justice-Involved services.”
