Healthy Communities - MCGP
Focus Area

Through the focus area of Healthy Communities, the Medi-Cal Capacity Grant Program invests in non-medical factors that impact health, such as food and housing.

These investments ensure that Medi-Cal members can access what they need to live their healthiest lives. Creating communities where healthy options are easy and available to all can reduce health disparities, support healthy and active lifestyles and reduce risk of chronic disease.

There are two funding opportunities in the Healthy Communities focus area:

• Community Health Champions
• Partners for Active Living

Note: The Partners for Healthy Food Access Program is retired and not accepting new applications. The Alliance will be implementing Medically Supportive Food as a Cov Zej Zog Kev Pab Txhawb service starting in January 2024.
