California Community Choices Grant
California Health and Human Services (CHHS) requested
proposals for their California Community Choices Grant
project.
In 2008, CHHS awarded the California Community Choices
Grant to CalOptima, in partnership with the County of
Orange Office on Aging, and the Dayle McIntosh Center.
The purpose of the grant is to develop a long-term care
infrastructure to increase access to home and communitybased services and to help divert persons with disabilities
and older adults from unnecessary institutionalization.
