The program aims to improve healthcare access and quality of life for vulnerable populations under age 19. As the state administering entity, DHCS utilizes these funds to support comprehensive health services delivery across California, including outreach, enrollment assistance, and retention efforts for eligible children and families in Medicaid and CHIP. The agency implements its programs through partnerships with county governments, healthcare providers, community organizations, and nonprofit partners.
