Ohio’s Medicaid Managed Care plans seek to invest in local communities in Cuyahoga County. The Community Reinvestment Collaborative Plan (CRCP) is a partnership with Ohio’s Medicaid Managed Care Plans to invest in solutions that address local needs and social drivers of health to improve population health outcomes in Athens County and Cuyahoga County. Ohio's Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) are reinvesting funds into local communities in a meaningful way that aligns with local needs and priorities. Athens and Cuyahoga counties will be the primary recipients of the plan’s SY 2024 Community Reinvestment funds, estimated to be between $7 million and $8 million. While projects of many sizes and scope will be considered, prior funded projects have included $600,000 for Appalachian food insecurity programs, $500,000 for a school-based health project, $250,000 for a lead testing initiative, $72,000 for a targeted mental health program for African American males and more.
