New Hampshire Choices for Independence (CFI) Medicaid Waiver services provide home- and community-based services to individuals who are chronically ill or have a disability and prefer to stay in their homes or communities but might otherwise need the level of care only provided in nursing homes, which typically result in more expensive treatment. The NH Fiscal Policy Institute research identified that increases to Medicaid rates could contribute to sustaining and expanding this vital workforce.

This Plan was developed from a statewide stakeholder process that included input from hundreds of interested parties who took a critical look at the current system. Input came from focus groups, workgroups, and public sessions held in recent weeks. The Plan addresses the needs of individuals and families across the continuum of care, and provides innovative models to meet the evolving environment and increasing complexity of the mental health system. DHHS has taken the work that came forward from this public process in shaping its final recommendations.

In New Hampshire, and in many States across the nation, programs and services that support young children and their families are fragmented, uncoordinated and often create a complex maze for families to navigate. Early childhood governance concerns the way state government organizes and locates authority and accountability for publicly funded programs and services for young children and families. Such governance would create a system that supports children and families to ensure that all of New Hampshire’s families have equitable access to developmental opportunities for their children. This report of the Early Childhood Governance Task Force analyzes NH’s current structure, highlights different approaches other states have taken to strengthen governance, and makes preliminary recommendations.

The Center on Aging and Community Living at UNH, in conjunction with other subject matter experts from the NH Alliance for Healthy Aging (NH AHA), engaged in conversations about care coordination between 2016-2017 that formed the framework for this brief.
