California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI)
URGENT: Application deadline is May 29, 2026 (19 days from today, May 10). Direct $$ for student loan repayment for licensed BH practitioners (LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCCs, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, BH MDs/DOs/NPs/PAs) who commit to serving Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Pairs with MBH-RRP (June 1 → July 15) and the now-closed MBH-CBPTP (April 30, 2026 cycle ended). Critical given FQHC BH staffing crisis + Kaiser NUHW 8-month strike fallout + HCAI's own BH workforce model showing all 58 CA counties in shortage across every BH role.
Highest-leverage retention lever for FQHC BH staff carrying student debt. CHROs should fast-track candidate identification and application support over the next 19 days. The May 29 cutoff is hard.
