California Consortium for Urban Indian Health

What California Consortium for Urban Indian Health does

California Consortium for Urban Indian Health (CCUIH) is a 501(c)(3) statewide alliance founded in 2006 that represents all 10 Urban Indian Health Programs (UIHPs) in California — approximately one-third of all UIHPs nationally — along with offices in Concord and Sacramento. CCUIH does not deliver direct clinical care; instead, it functions as a policy advocacy, capacity-building, and research coordination body for its member UIHPs, which operate as Federally Qualified Health Centers and direct-service clinics providing primary care, behavioral health, oral health, and culturally integrated services to American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations across urban California. The organization participates in Indian Consultation at federal and state levels, conducts community-driven research on Urban Indian health, and operates programs including the Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Project, Red Women Rising, CalHOPE RedLine, GRASP-HCV, and the Future Fires Podcast.

CCUIH's core intellectual property is the Culturally Relevant Integration Model — a proprietary framework that adapts SAMHSA's Six Levels of Integration Tool to integrate traditional American Indian healing practices into primary care and behavioral health service delivery. The model is offered as a technical-assistance asset to member organizations and to broader systems partners. CCUIH also produces the California MMIP Summit and an annual California Urban Indian Health Conference as convening assets for tribal leaders, lawmakers, and member organizations.

The business model is grant-funded nonprofit: CCUIH derives revenue from government grants (Indian Health Service, SAMHSA, California state agencies), foundation grants (including a $250,000 award from the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation in 2025), and tax-deductible donations (Tax ID 204878959). There is no fee-for-service revenue, no consumer pricing, and no equity or institutional investment. With 1-10 listed employees, CCUIH operates as a thin coordinating body, with the bulk of clinical service delivery performed by its member UIHPs rather than CCUIH directly.
