Local Indigent Care Needs

Local Indigent Care Needs (LICN) grants were created to expand the delivery of locally directed indigent care services in CMSP counties.  Populations served include low-income uninsured and under-insured adults who lack access to health, behavioral health, or associated support services in CMSP counties.

LICN projects:

  • Promote timely delivery of necessary medical, behavioral health and support services to locally identified target populations;
  • Link those populations to other community resources and support; and
  • Improve overall target population health outcomes.

LICN Grant funding was awarded via two program tracks:

Track One – Planning Project grants. Award amounts ranged up to $50,000 per project (up to $75,000 if the project served more than one CMSP county).

Track  Two – Implementation Program grants. Award amounts ranged up to $1.5 million over a 3-year period (up to $500,000 per year).

CMSP awarded 23 LICN Planning Project grants and 31 LICN Implementation Program grants totaling $43.7 million.

Once all LICN projects are complete, a Summary Outcomes report will be posted.

This page will be updated if a new LICN request for proposals is released.
