Ten community coaliations or working groups met our criteria for selection for a site visit in the spring of 2020. We were able to complete six site visits physically before Covid-19 shut down travel and forced health care providers, social service providers, and local health departments to pivot to immediate life and death issues, circa early March. The last four visits were conducted virtually. In each case we were able to assess coaltion capacities and challenges, and they were able to explore more deeply if a collaborative financing model like CAPGI seems right for them. The ten are (in more or less geographic order, from West to East): Spokane, WA; Grand Junction, CO; Waco, TX; Kansas City MO/KS; Springfield, MO; Cleveland, OH; the District of Columbia; Eastern VA; Anne Arundel County, MD; Hartford, CT. The following link will take you to a file with the status of each communities’ plans and progress toward CAPGI readiness as of May 2020. We will add more details periodically as progress warrants.
