CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal) presents a significant opportunity for collaboration between housing and homeless service agencies and the Medi-Cal managed care system. People who work in these settings have profound knowledge, expertise, and deep relationships with communities and are skilled at addressing people’s housing needs. CalAIM creates an avenue for these organizations to contract with Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCPs) and be reimbursed for services.

In early 2023, the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) held a Medi-Cal Academy, a 10-session training series delivered by webinar, for housing and homeless service agencies interested in contracting with MCPs to provide housing-related Community Supports. The training series covered administrative components and processes governing Medi-Cal reimbursement and supported these community-based organizations in implementing the housing-related Community Supports available through CalAIM. The series was produced with CHCF support.

The sessions were recorded and can be viewed via the links on the left side of this page. Slides from each presentation are available for download.
