About True Management Services
In an era of shrinking budgets and growing complexity, True Management Services, LLC delivers a tested model that strengthens small to mid-sized community-based organizations (CBOs), streamlines government program implementation, and saves taxpayer dollars. We provide hands-on technical assistance (TA) through public contracts, with a proven record of driving measurable results at scale.
Our approach helps smaller organizations navigate complex systems and access the funding and tools traditionally available to large-scale institutions.
Our Role in CalAIM
California’s CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal) initiative launched in 2022 as a statewide strategy to transform Medicaid by integrating health and social care, reducing preventable ER visits, and improving outcomes for high-risk individuals. Funded in part through a Section 1115 federal Medicaid waiver, CalAIM represents $8 billion in state investment over five years.
A central pillar of this effort is the CalAIM TA Marketplace, a state-funded resource offering free, expert technical assistance to providers navigating new Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports (CS) models.
With no roadmap and few providers equipped to deliver these services at launch, True Management Services became the first and only TA provider during the first six months—guiding CBOs through infrastructure development, billing systems, workforce design, and compliance.
What Sets Us Apart
Our 37+ consultant team includes grant professionals, attorneys, former executive directors, OMB 200 specialists, professors, case managers, and developers, many of whom are bilingual and culturally responsive. We meet providers where they are, and guide them through every step of capacity building, compliance, and funding alignment. We don’t just offer advice, we work hand-in-hand with CBOs and Nonprofits to lay the foundation for long-term success.
Why It Matters for States and Taxpayers
When states invest in TA that is publicly funded and privately executed, nonprofits no longer have to divert scarce resources to get the support they need.
Instead, they are equipped to launch sustainable programs, meet compliance requirements, and compete for federal and state grants—without relying on costly external consultants or risking program failure. This model doesn’t just support small organizations—it protects public investments, reduces waste, and drives better outcomes at scale.
Why This Matters Nationally
Across the country, small and mid-sized CBOs are the backbone of program delivery, but they’re often under-resourced and overwhelmed by complex systems. Our model proves that when these organizations are properly supported, they can deliver services effectively and in full compliance with regulatory requirements.
California’s success is replicable—and True Management is ready to support it.
