Behavioral Health Community-Based Organized Networks of Equitable Care and Treatment(BH-CONNECT)デモンストレーション補遺
On July 26, DHCS submitted an addendum to the pending Section 1115 BH-CONNECT Demonstration under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act to further strengthen the continuum of care for Medi-Cal members with significant behavioral health conditions.
Through the BH-CONNECT addendum, California seeks to further expand the care continuum for Medi-Cal members with the most complex behavioral health issues and risk factors. Specifically, California proposes to enable county behavioral health plans to opt into one or both of two new opportunities tailored to the unique needs of Medi-Cal members who live with the most complex and significant behavioral health conditions:
- コミュニティ移行インリーチサービスは、施設での長期滞在を経験している重大な行動上の健康状態を持つ個人がコミュニティに戻るのを支援します。
- 重大な行動上の健康状態と特定のリスク要因を持つ個人のために、最大6か月間、適格な住宅環境での部屋と食事。 これらの設定は、サイズが16ベッド以下に制限され、ロックを解除して任意である必要があります。Medi-Calの対象となる、自発的な、および回復指向のサービスを提供します。また、生きた経験を持つ個人、擁護団体、利害関係者、および部族のパートナーと協議して、DHCSによって確立された州全体の基準を満たしています。

カリフォルニア州とシエラビスタの子供と家族のサービスがモデストコミュニティウェルネスと青少年予防センターに着工
On July 25, DHCS and Sierra Vista Child & Family Services broke ground on a new facility in Modesto to close critical gaps in mental health and substance use disorder treatment. The Community Wellness and Youth Prevention Center will provide critical services, including restorative justice practices for youth, mental health counseling, pregnancy and postpartum services, family and parent support services, and other integrated services.
DHCS awarded Sierra Vista Child & Family Services more than $4.6 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which works to ensure comprehensive behavioral health care for California’s most vulnerable residents. With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, in 2025 and 2026, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built.
DHCS has already competitively awarded $1.7 billion in BHCIP grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute up to $4.4 billion in competitive BHCIP grants under Proposition 1 bond funds. Just this month, DHCS announced the availability of up to $3.3 billion in competitive grant funding to develop a wide range of behavioral health treatment settings for Californians who most need care. Behavioral Health Transformation is DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS holds regular public listening sessions. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the Behavioral Health Transformation, Stakeholder Engagement webpage.
