DHCS Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative Goes Live
DHCS launched a targeted set of Medi-Cal services to people as they prepare to return to California communities after incarceration. The Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative is designed to provide a targeted suite of medical and mental health services for youth and adults in state prisons, county jails, and youth correctional facilities in the 90 days prior to their release, aiming to ensure a smoother transition and improving overall well-being and public health outcomes. Three counties – Inyo, Santa Clara, and Yuba – were approved as of October 1 to begin delivering a targeted set of Medi-Cal services to people returning to communities after incarceration. Additional counties will begin offering services in early 2025.
