    Justification: The Enhancing Systems of Care for Children with 
Medical Complexity Coordinating Center provides national leadership 
through training, support, and education to five demonstration projects 
implementing patient/family centered models of care delivery. 
Additional funding is needed to create consistent and sustainable 
policies, strategies, and partnerships that every state can adapt when 
providing access to a patient and family centered health care home for 
all CMC and their families. Most CMC do not have access to high quality 
patient-centered care focused on their complex care needs and one key 
reason is lack of sustainable financing of these care models. As a 
result of this supplemental funding, (1) more states will receive 
training, education and resources to provide stable and sufficient 
financing for patient and family centered health care homes for all 
CMC; (2) common measures will be developed for use across federal 
programs; and (3) state and jurisdictional Title V programs will be 
better positioned to work with state Medicaid agencies regarding the 
needs of the maternal and child health population, especially children 
and youth with special health care needs/CMC. Because of the current 
grantee's work in Medicaid financing, implementation science, and the 
CMC population, they are best positioned to work with state Title V and 
Medicaid programs, as well as families, clinicians, health care 
organizations, and other stakeholders, to support state Medicaid and 
Title V agencies in their efforts.
    HRSA will award $450,000 to the award recipient noted in Table I.

Administrator.
