The CARE Act is based on evidence which demonstrates that many people can stabilize, begin healing, and exit homelessness in less restrictive, community-based care settings. In order to achieve these results, the CARE Court will place individuals on a court-ordered CARE plan for up to 12-months, with the possibility of 12-month extension.

HMA provides training and technical assistance to the following:
HMA offers training and open forum discussions on prioritized topics. In addition to the training and open-forum webinar schedule, HMA provides specific technical assistance to Cohort I and Cohort II counties that is responsive to each county’s needs.

HMA is also partnering with other local subject matter experts to inform training and technical assistance. More details on the upcoming Training and Technical Assistance opportunities for 2024 and 2025 will be available shortly.
