ADvancing States: ARPA HCBS Technical Assistance Program Announcement - Phase 3
ADvancing States and the ARPA HCBS Technical Assistance Collective have announced a third phase of technical assistance to State Medicaid programs to facilitate and expedite state implementation of the American Rescue Plan Act Home and Community-Based Services Funding Initiative.
The first two phases of this technical assistance program focused on project management planning to jump-start state implementation and topical learning collaboratives that shared ideas, successes, challenges, and strategies to assist states design their projects.
Phase 3 will provide up to 10 selected states with substantive technical assistance for implementing discrete initiatives or portions of initiatives and is designed to facilitate the meaningful implementation of their HCBS Spending Plans. The technical assistance effort will be uniquely tailored to the specific needs of each state that is selected to participate. All states are invited to apply; each selected state will be supported by the ARPA HCBS TA Collective in a customized manner.
In this third phase of technical assistance, two of the original funders - The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Milbank Memorial Fund - have been joined by the Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund to support this effort.
The third phase will begin on November 15, 2022 and end by January 15, 2024.
To apply, fill out the application form by November 10.
