FACT

What FACT does

FACT (Families and Community Together, Inc.) is a private nonprofit Care Management Organization founded in 2000 and headquartered at 240 Sheffield Street, Mountainside, NJ. It holds the exclusive designation as Union County's CMO under the New Jersey Children's System of Care (NJCSOC), a state-administered framework that routes Medicaid-funded intensive wraparound care management services to eligible youth and families. Families enter the system through PerformCare, the state's contracted systems administrator, which conducts intake and needs assessments before referring intensive cases to FACT for assignment of a dedicated Care Manager.

FACT's core product is community-based wraparound care management, organized around the Child and Family Team (CFT) model — a team-based approach that combines family members, friends, community members and a professional Care Manager to develop an Individualized Service Plan (ISP) and a crisis plan. The organization operates across three explicit service areas: Behavioral Health, Developmental Disability, and Substance Use, serving youth ages 5-21 (with consideration for under-5 cases). Care Managers maintain at least monthly in-home contact and coordinate clinical, educational, vocational, and residential services. A complementary asset is UnionResourceNet.org, a sister website serving as Union County's directory of local care providers, community organizations, hotlines, and support groups.

FACT generates no direct customer revenue; services are provided at no cost to families and funded entirely through NJ state Medicaid via the NJCSOC contract. The organization is governed by a Board of Trustees predominantly composed of parents of children with behavioral health needs, and is led by a professional C-suite (CEO Anthony Cameli, CFO Gina Woodson, CHRO Linda Nash Merker, Chief Quality/Compliance/Tech Officer Richard Thompson). Distribution is entirely in-person within Union County, with no digital delivery channel and no geographic expansion outside the county.
