AHP Solutions
Transforming Complex Challenges into Coordinated, Measurable Solutions
A System, Not a Set of Services
Behavioral health and human services systems rarely struggle because of lack of effort or expertise. More often, challenges emerge when strategy, funding, operations, and evaluation move forward in isolation.
Integrated Program and Funds Management (IPFM) is AHP’s operating model for governing complex public initiatives. It aligns policy goals, funding structures, operational capacity, and performance measurement across the full lifecycle of an initiative.
IPFM is not a single service—it is the structure that ensures programs are executable, compliant, and built to deliver measurable impact over time.
The IPFM (Integrated Program and Funds Management) Model
Public initiatives move through predictable stages. We help partners navigate each one with clarity and coordination:
IPFM in Action
Engage and Strategize
Align program goals with community needs and policy intent through stakeholder convening, interviews, listening sessions, and data-informed planning.
Forecast and Adapt

Score and Select
Design transparent, equitable selection processes with clear criteria, risk assessments, reviewer training, and defensible documentation.
Contract and Disburse
Manage contracting and fund disbursement, tailoring agreements, overseeing amendments, and ensuring funds flow quickly and securely.
Support and Strengthen
Provide hands-on programmatic and fiscal technical assistance to support compliance, quality improvement, and operational success.
Evaluate and Share
