The Capacity Connect InitiativeEmpowering Local Food and Nutrition Providers |
The Capacity Connect Initiative (CCI) is designed to empower local, community-based food and nutrition providers who have not traditionally delivered services within the Medicaid system. By offering tailored technical assistance, direct funding, and strategic support, this initiative helps providers overcome barriers to participation in the Medicaid program’s new In-Lieu of Services opportunity.
MDHHS made direct funding available to organizations through a grant application and award process to support investments such as the implementation or enhancement of technology solutions, development of business or operational practices, workforce development and training efforts, and education and outreach.
The Capacity Connect Initiative is made possible through funding support from The Health Fund, with ongoing collaborative program design support from our partners, the Michigan Farmers Market Association (MiFMA), the Michigan Association of Health Plans (MAHP), and with the Food Bank Council of Michigan (FBCM) having contributed during the initial research and development phase.
