Background 
The PATH CPI initiative provides funding to support county and regional collaborative planning for ECM and Community Supports implementation. CPI collaboratives bring together local partners to address challenges and identify how PATH and other CalAIM funding opportunities can improve outcomes.

In 2023 and 2025, collaborative facilitators gathered input from surveys, information sessions, and listening sessions to identify best practices and resources that guide ECM and Community Supports efforts. The topics and objectives of this webinar are informed by insights from this statewide effort.

All webinar recordings and best practices resources will be available on the CPI webpage under “Best Practices & Resources.” For questions, please email collaborative@ca-path.com.
