Summary of Request:
On January 26, 2023, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) received federal approval under its California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) 1115 Demonstration for Providing Access and Transferring Health (PATH) capacity building funds to support the Justice Involved Reentry Initiative. Under the CalAIM 1115 Demonstration, DHCS received approval to disseminate up to $410 million in capacity building funds to support the planning and implementation of pre-release and reentry services in the 90 days prior to an individual’s release into the community.
The PATH Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative Capacity Building Program will provide funding to support the planning and implementation of the provision of targeted pre-release Medi-Cal services to individuals in state prisons, county jails, and youth correctional facilities who meet the eligibility criteria as outlined in the CalAIM Section 1115 Demonstration approval. This funding will also support County Behavioral Health Agencies to implement Behavioral Health Links as required by AB 133. PATH funds will be available to support investments in personnel, capacity, and/or Information Technology systems that are needed for collaborative planning and implementation in order to effectuate pre-release service processes. These PATH capacity building funds are available to qualified entities and will be distributed based on meeting certain performance milestones.
On July 27, 2023, Mendocino County submitted three separate applications for PATH Justice-Involved Planning and Capacity Building Program funds (referred to as PATH Justice-Involved Round 3) in the amount of $2,000,000 for the Mendocino County Jail, $1,500,000 for the Mendocino County Juvenile Hall, and $990,375 for Mendocino County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services. Once funds are received, Mendocino County has 180 days to create and begin an implementation plan for services under the grant. Each Department is to utilize grant funds to provide specific grant deliverables from April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026, but has no official deadline for utilizing the funds in full. The proposed terms and conditions of the PATH Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative Capacity Building Program are focused on providing prerelease services as part of the Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative, with funds from the PATH Justice-Involved Round 3 dedicated exclusively to justice-involved pre-release services and Behavioral Health Links implementation.
