Community partnerships to create more equitable, coordinated, and person-centered care.
The California Advancing & Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) is a broad Medi-Cal transformation effort to create more equitable, coordinated, and person-centered care. Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports (CS) are keystone initiatives engaging Medi-Cal enrollees who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in coordinated community-based care management and access to housing support services.Â
Â
Through the Housing & Homelessness Incentive Program (HHIP), Sacramento Steps Forward (SSF) is supporting the Sacramento Continuum of Care, City of Sacramento, Sacramento County, and Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans with integrating CalAIM ECM and CS services into the local homeless response system in alignment with our community’s adopted Local Homeless Action Plan.
