The care your advocates already deliver qualifies for ECM reimbursement under CalAIM. Sunlight Health turns that into a sustainable revenue stream without adding burden to your team.
CalAIM's Enhanced Care Management was designed for exactly the youth your advocates serve every day. Yet the gap between eligibility and enrollment remains vast.
No other organization in the child welfare ecosystem has the trust, reach and relationships to close this gap more effectively than CASA.
Compared to their peers, system-involved youth experience significantly higher rates of chronic illness, developmental delays, trauma-related conditions and unmet behavioral health needs.
Many have never had a consistent primary care provider or anyone tracking whether their needs are actually being met.
Enhanced Care Management is built for exactly this population. It wraps around the most complex cases, connecting them to the right providers and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
When youth receive consistent, coordinated care, outcomes improve.
Kids who aren't in crisis can engage in school and life more fully.
Youth whose trauma is being addressed can form relationships and trust adults.
And young people who feel well and supported are far more likely to age out of the system with the stability they need to thrive.
Your advocates already understand this connection. ECM gives your organization the framework and the support to act on it.

As an ECM partner CASA's advocacy for the whole child extends into a powerful new arena — the healthcare ecosystem. Better health coordination means fewer crises, more stability, and a stronger foundation for every outcome you're working toward.
Grants are capped. Donations fluctuate. ECM reimbursement works differently: the revenue grows as you support more clients. That's right, the program that funds your mission can actually scale alongside it, reducing the constant pressure to seek outside funding just to maintain what you've built. Growth stops being a financial risk and becomes a financial reward.
Over-reliance on any single funding source — whether VOCA, state and federal grants, or philanthropy — leaves your organization exposed. When priorities shift or budgets get cut, programs suffer and youth feel it first. ECM adds a durable, programmatic revenue stream that isn't subject to the same cycles of competition and renewal. It's not a replacement for philanthropy or grants, it becomes the foundation that makes them go further.
Funders, courts, and policymakers increasingly want to know not just how many youth you served, but how they are doing as a result. ECM creates a structured framework for tracking and demonstrating: health outcomes, stability, long-term well-being. For CASAs ready to make the shift, it's a chance to tell a more powerful story about what your work actually achieves in the lives of youth.
Becoming an ECM partner requires no financial commitment, but generates sustainable revenue.
