Abstract
Most programs that integrate physical and behavioral health struggle with financial sustainability. The growth and development of mechanisms for supporting grass-roots integration highlight the creativity and sheer will of communities, states, and health care systems to innovate their way to health. And now, for the first time, national-level funding initiatives have begun to directly or indirectly support integration. This chapter will highlight funding mechanisms at the state, foundation, payer, and federal levels. It will provide a historical and future-oriented primer of the various mechanisms for advancing and sustaining integration.
