The Health and Reentry Project (HARP), in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and BJA National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC), has developed new resources for corrections administrators looking for information on implementing new Medicaid policy affecting incarcerated youth and young adults in correctional settings. These resources provide correctional leaders with operational guidance on key elements of implementation, insights on where corrections administrators should start, answers to frequently asked questions about the policies, and targeted resources for Sheriffs and jails. They include

• Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) of 2023 Youth Requirements: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) For Jails

• Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) of 2023 Youth Requirements: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) For State Departments of Correction and/or Prisons

• Brief Operational Checklist for Post-Adjudicated Youth: A checklist with quick, concrete considerations to guide initial implementation of new requirements

• Getting Ready: Key Elements for the Implementation of Section 5121 Youth Requirements in Adult Correctional Facilities: A deeper dive, highlighting seven key elements facilities need to think about to be ready to implement the new requirements

Thanks!
