2025 Budget Priorities

Health Enrollment Navigator Funding

$20M request for the Health Enrollment Navigators Project at health centers to assist with Medi-Cal outreach, enrollment, and renewal efforts. Current program funding is set to expire at the end of June 2025.

Proposition 35 Funding

Maximize MCO tax resources for CHCs, ensure successful development and implementation of the clinic quality incentive program, and protect the purpose and intent of the initiative in the budget and legislative process. While the Legislature will play an oversight role in how the funding is distributed, the majority of the advocacy will be administrative/regulatory efforts.

Supplemental Payment Pool

Ensuring Proposition 35 funding allocated for CHCs is included in the FY 25-26 budget to supplement the Community Clinic Directed Payment program (formally the non-hospital clinic 340B Supplemental Payment Pool).
