The program encompasses the outreach, enrollment, retention and utilization <br />(OERU) model. <br />Outreach via partner sites, community events, toll -free phone number, flyer distribution which offers culturally <br />and linguistically appropriate information in hard -to -reach, low-income and minority communities. <br />Enrollment is conducted by Health Access staff using the web -based One-e-App database to immediately <br />determine eligibility for 18 different health care and social services programs and submit households' applications, <br />if qualified. The majority of clients come to us seeking Medi-Cal enrollment assistance. <br />Care Connections (Retention and Utilization) provides case management that helps individuals and families <br />navigate, utilize, and retain available services and benefits once enrolled. CHIOC also conducts "Know Your <br />Benefits" workshops to educate clients on the health system and their benefits. These are conducted at local <br />schools across the county. <br />The goal of this program is to Increase access to care by providing enrollment and navigation services to the <br />uninsured, including low-income families, immigrants, and racial and ethnic minorities. These populations often <br />face greater barriers when accessing care, such as limited transportation, limited English proficiency, and low <br />health literacy. Furthermore, coverage alone does not always equal access to care. Thus we aim to help clients not <br />only enroll but also retain and use their benefits, offering navigation and education as an effective strategy to <br />address the complexities of our healthcare system in Orange County. <br />Funding Description: <br />CDBG Funding request is to support the salary of Director of Program and Policy as well as Health Access Assistor <br />staff to provide services. <br />*70911I`r1 <br />
