DPH submitted an application for the PATH CITED grant to the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to fund Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports programs.
DHCS notified DPH of the grant award amounting to $3,862,929.40 for the PATH CITED program, with a project start date retroactive to October 1, 2021.
Prolonged discussions occurred to resolve fiscal issues related to the grant, which delayed the approval process.
