New Data on Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports

DHCS published the latest quarterly report report showing strong, continued growth in Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports across California. In the second quarter of 2025, ECM enrollment increased 61 percent year-over-year, and the number of children and youth served more than doubled. Community Supports reached more than 520,000 members, delivering more than 1.3 million services, including housing navigation and medically tailored meals. These services help Medi-Cal members stay healthier and avoid other, costlier care, such as emergency department visits and hospital stays.
