About this grant
HFS is implementing new provider types that will be delivered by non-profit community-based organizations (CBOs) that have limited infrastructure and capacity to contract and become Medicaid providers. These provider types include but are not limited to CBOs that provide health related social needs (HRSN) services under the 1115 waiver, community health worker (CHW) services, new maternal health services (e.g., doulas, lactation consultants), and reentry service organizations. To help prepare and develop the infrastructure needed to support these organizations in becoming Medicaid providers, HFS will fund a state-wide network system entity to build the network of providers that will deliver these services and provide training, technical assistance and capacity building funding. HFS will select one statewide organization through a competitive NOFO process to serve as the Social Health Care Network. HFS strongly encourages the use of subrecipients to ensure adequate reach across the state of Illinois.
