Providing Access and Transforming Health Capacity and Infrastructure Transition, Expansion and Development Round 4 (Transitional Rent) Letter of Support Process

Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH) Capacity and Infrastructure Transition, Expansion and Development (CITED) is an initiative from the Department of Health Care Services. It provides grant funding to enable the transition, expansion and development of Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports capacity and infrastructure.

The funding is intended for on-the-ground partners, including community-based organizations (CBO), hospitals, county agencies, Tribes, and others, to successfully participate in Medi-Cal Transformation ECM and Community Support services. Applicants that receive PATH CITED funding must be actively contracted to provide ECM or Community Supports or have a signed attestation from a Medi-Cal Managed Care Plan (MCP) or other entity that they intend to contract with to provide ECM or Community Supports in a timely manner. Visit CalAIM-PATH for additional information.

Three rounds have been awarded as of August 2024. Round 4, the last round of funding, is now open for applications and will close on May 2, 2025.

Letters of Support for PATH Cited Round 4: Transitional Rent

As required by the State, eligible entities applying for PATH CITED Round 4 to support Transitional Rent must obtain and submit a Letter of Support from their local County Behavioral Health Agency with their application.

Entities must read the PATH CITED Transitional Rent Letter of Support Guidance before requesting a letter of support.

For entities applying for funds to implement Transitional Rent in multiple counties with CITED funding, they must obtain a letter of support from each County Behavioral Health Agency where they are requesting CITED funds.
