DHCS 发布关于增强护理管理 (ECM) 和社区支持的季度实施报告

On August 2, DHCS released the latest ECM and Community Supports Quarterly Implementation Report, which includes data from January 2022 through December 2023. The report shows an increase in the availability and use of Community Supports, showing significant growth in the number of counties offering these services. As of January 2024, 19 counties across California offered all 14 Community Supports, and all counties offered at least eight Community Supports. This marks a significant increase from the end of 2022, when only three counties offered all 14 Community Supports. About 140,000 unique Medi-Cal members used Community Supports in the first two years of the program, with more than 350,000 total services delivered. In Quarter (Q)4 2023, about 86,000 members used Community Supports, a 265 percent increase from Q4 2022. 

ECM 的参与人数也有所增长，2023 年第四季度约有 96,000 名会员接受了服务，比 2022 年第四季度增长了 40%。2023 年第四季度，21 岁以下领取 ECM 的会员人数比上一季度几乎翻了一番，从 6,400 名会员增加到 12,000 名会员，其中许多人在 2023 年 7 月才符合领取 ECM 的资格。在这项福利实施的头两年，全州共有超过 183,000 名 Medi-Cal 会员获得了 ECM 福利。 

ECM and Community Supports aim to improve Medi-Cal members’ overall health and well-being by addressing both medical and social factors that can impact a person’s health, including housing assistance, meal programs, job training, and centralized coordination of care.

加州向各县拨款近 1.33 亿美元，为无家可归者和精神疾病患者提供快速安置

DHCS awarded $132.5 million to 10 county behavioral health agencies under the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program. This funding enables counties to provide temporary, safe housing and essential support for people transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing. Bridge housing is a crucial component of addressing the urgent needs of Californians experiencing homelessness who have serious mental health or substance use disorder treatment needs.

These awards, which build upon the more than $900 million already awarded to counties and tribal entities in 2022, will significantly enhance local efforts to provide immediate housing and support for individuals with serious behavioral health conditions by bolstering the development of tiny homes, interim housing, rental assistance programs, and other housing models, which will include access to behavioral health and housing navigation services to connect BHBH Program participants to long-term housing. For more information, please visit the BHBH Program website.
