about NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid.
Upcoming NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid Changes
The federal government has changed the rules around who is eligible for Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare starting Fall 2026. These rule changes are part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” that was signed into law by President Trump in July 2025. These new rules do not apply to everyone. The following information explains which members may be affected and how they can prepare.
Setting change in motion
Many health problems can’t be addressed without identifying the underlying causes or issues at hand. Perhaps someone doesn’t have a car to get to a doctor’s appointment … or poor housing conditions are causing elevated rates of chronic asthma … or lack of quality prenatal care is contributing to poor birth outcomes.
Using our robust data analytics, we identify the trends and needs within our communities and then, together with our partners, implement innovative programs and develop policy recommendations to address them.
HCPC Foundational Priority:
Data Connectivity, Analytics and Reporting
Community Resource Directory and Referral System
HCPC has developed an accessible public facing resouce directory powered by Unite Us. This tool is available for anyone to use and find local resources and supportive programs to help meet individual needs. Also, Unite Us empowers us to drive process improvement through data collection and analysis in order to build and manage a community referral network for every person and every need. Using Unite Us, we can immediately refer clients for assistance, empower them by directly sharing appointments and referral information, and quickly follow-up on their results. It moves us closer to realizing a collective impact approach to addressing complex health and social needs. In short, Unite Us helps hold us accountable to our work and our clients. It also helps us see what needs our community is good at meeting, and where we need to do better!
Data Modeling and Analytics
Through our Data Modeling and Analytics, we are able to get a clear picture of the complex issues facing our community through the integration of both clinical and social data sources. We are better able to contribute to improved public health reporting and monitoring, engage our clients, help our partners make informed decisions, anticipate community needs, improve healthcare quality and outcomes, and work to improve partner workflows and processes which ultimately impact overall health and quality of life in our region.
HCPC Foundational Priority:
Partnerships and Unified Networks
Community Action Board (CAB)
HCPC believes in the power of community and is honored to collaborate with many partner organizations to address social drivers of health and improve health and quality of life for everyone. HCPC CAB member organizations meet quarterly for collaboration and policy updates. In addition HCPC has formed CAB member task force teams to address particular community needs including but not limited to Healthy Aging and Chronic Conditions such as Diabetes.
Faith-Based Organization Partnerships
HCPC has a robust network of faith-based organization (FBO) partners comprised of local churches, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship. FBOs are highly trusted partners who assist HCPC with critical programming, information dissemination and feedback to elevate community voice.
Community Asset Mapping and Resource Listing
Good things exist in communities! HCPC works with strong partners who provide programs and services to support and empower individuals to live healthier lives. In order for these programs and services to be effective, they need to be highlighted, encouraged and readily accessible so that people can easily access what they need when they need it.Â
HCPC has worked with Unite Us to identify and map community resources in order to easily connect individuals to trusted, well-vetted, local programs and services. Our goal is to build a network where people can enter anywhere and be referred everywhere to easily access what they need.
Grant Collaborations
HCPC values working together to bring programs, initiatives, services and funding the Northern NJ area through collaboration with funders and community partners. Since its inception, the HCPC has worked both independently and with community partners to secure approximately five million dollars in grant funding to benefit the HCPC region of service.Â
Networking and Convening
As a neutral convener, HCPC aims to break down the silos between organizations in order to work more efficiently and serve the community. By bringing community leaders together, HCPC not only expands the network, but also helps form strategic community partnerships and works to quantify the collective impact of our efforts in our region.
Strategic Partner with NJ State Agencies
The Health Coalition of Passaic County is one of New Jersey’s first Regional Health Hubs (RHH) legislatively formed and signed into law in 2020. The RHHs include the Camden Coalition, the Greater Newark Healthcare Coalition, the Trenton Health Team and the Health Coalition of Passaic County. All organizations are dedicated to finding solutions and working through strong community and state-level relationships. In this capacity, we work as a strategic partner with NJ state agencies to address health and social needs, develop priorities and improve health across our regions.

New Jersey Reinvestment Fund - Building Healthier More Equitable Communities (BHEC)
BHEC helps us address the barriers to better health through changes in the built environment and the community investment system. BHEC is working with four cities – Paterson, Asbury Park, Camden and Newark – to further plans for an equitable recovery from the current health and economic crisis. It also addresses the social determinants of health in order to advance health equity and wellbeing. The Paterson BHEC project is co-led by HCPC and Paterson Habitat for Humanity (PHFH) to build upon lessons learned from existing cross-sector collaborative efforts and unify data from previous projects. HCPC will be a bridge between a Ground Team and an Advisory Team to develop a model of housing choice with supportive services designed to lift people up and out of poverty. A long-term goal of this project is to create frameworks/strategies that can be applied to support any Paterson-based development project moving forward.
Co-led by HCPC.
