Pathways, a Medicaid-funded four-year pilot program, provides coordinated delivery of an array of physical and behavioral health services, as well as homeless outreach, social services, case management, and housing support, for some of the county’s most medically and behaviorally complex people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
