Justice-powered care

is built on one clear belief:

When families in the child welfare system get the healthcare they need—quickly and in a coordinated way—kids spend less time in foster care and families reunify safely, sooner.

Why health needs slow reunification

Child welfare cases often require families to access healthcare and community supports in order to reunify. Yet without support getting coverage and treatment can be overwhelming.

Better Outcomes

Expanding access to system-involved families.

Our innovative model creates a reliable way to finally connect 25,000+ system-involved families with the Medi-Cal benefits they're entitled to.

Care that's holistic and coordinated.

Trusted advocates coordinate whole-person care for families as part of their ongoing case work, rather than creating another new workflow and set of expectations.

Health outcomes improve.

Access to benefits and support to coordinate care lead to better outcomes for individuals and families.

More healthy families reunified for good.

As system-involved families get the healthcare and community supports they need, the rate and pace of reunification improves, and over time family health and well-being lowers the total cost of care.

Step into Sunlight.

Families are waiting. The trusted relationships are already there. Medi-Cal is prioritizing ECM. We're building the infrastructure to connect all three — and we welcome you to be join us.
