California Accountable Communities for Health Initiative (CACHI)

Practice Area: Behavioral Health Scope: State Location: CA Status: Closed

Project Overview

With support from the Blue Shield of California Foundation, Third Sector assessed the potential for CA state and federal funding streams to support California’s Accountable Communities for Health Initiative (CACHI) in their effort to coordinate and provide prevention-oriented services to improve community health outcomes. Third Sector coordinated with the CACHI network and other thought leaders to disseminate information on the most promising opportunities. Third Sector also developed a roadmap to help communities understand how to access and leverage Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funding to impact community mental health.

Building Capacity to Improve Behavioral Health Outcomes for CaliforniansStateCAActive
The Transformational Change Partnership (TCP) is an innovative cohort program that uses a structured learning and capacity-building framework to empower teams in California to transform their behavioral health systems and improve outcomes. The program aligns with the state's Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA), which emphasizes improving access to care, reducing disparities, and fostering systemic integration across health, housing, criminal justice, and other sectors. Third Sector co-created TCP with the University of the Pacific.

Sutter-Yuba’s iCARE Innovation Project seeks to increase access to behavioral health care for underserved groups not currently engaged in traditional behavioral health services. Third Sector is supporting outcomes framework design and outcomes impact assessment for iCARE by soliciting and integrating input from consumers to both inform continuous improvement efforts and contribute to consumer-defined recovery metrics.
