Health Homes

What Is a Health Home?

A Health Home is not a place—it is a team-based approach to care. Your team of service providers works closely with you and your child’s caregiver to ensure you receive the services you need and want to stay healthy. Once enrolled, your family will be assigned a Care Manager who will help develop a personalized Plan of Care that supports your child’s social, emotional, mental, and physical well-being now and in the future.

Who Is Eligible?

Children and youth ages 0–20 with active Medicaid coverage may be eligible if they have experienced physical, social, or emotional challenges that impact healthy development or their ability to achieve life goals.

Hope For Youth is a proud member of the Collaborative for Children and Families (CCF)—a Health Home made up of a large network of medical and behavioral health providers specializing in services for children and families.
