健康登记导航员项目资金更新​​  

On April 7, 2023, DHCS sent a mandatory survey to Health Enrollment Navigators Project partners to provide an opportunity for them to receive the remaining project funding. The survey asks partners to describe how they will use additional funds on two focused activities: Medi-Cal renewal activities, and targeted outreach efforts on the Medi-Cal ages 26-49 expansion for undocumented Californians and asset elimination. DHCS worked with key stakeholders on this funding opportunity and how DHCS would strategically utilize these funds. During the week of May 1, DHCS anticipates completing its review of proposals and awarding funding. Approved partners can then begin implementing their funded activities.​​  

The Health Enrollment Navigators Project reconciled partner payments for the $59.72 million appropriated via Assembly Bill 74 (Chapter 23, Statutes of 2019), with a remaining balance of $3.38 million. Also, there is an unallocated balance of $226,000 from the $60 million appropriated via Senate Bill 154 (Chapter 43, Statutes of 2022), for a total of $3.6 million remaining to be allocated.​​  

Additionally, DHCS posted the 35 individual partner work plans for public consumption on the Project Partners Section webpage. These work plans will detail the specific actions, tasks, approaches, and target population groups for each partner’s project activities. The partner’s direct contact information aims to facilitate interaction and collaboration between partners and community-based organizations to maximize project efforts and impact.​​
