Formula Grant 2602WIPREP

The State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services received a $593,938 Formula Grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP, CFDA 93.092). This award supports the delivery of evidence-based sexual health education and youth development services to Wisconsin youth ages 10-19, with special focus on pregnant and parenting youth under age 21, as well as at-risk populations including youth in foster care, the juvenile justice system, victims of human trafficking, and youth experiencing homelessness or runaway situations.

Under this formula grant, the State of Wisconsin implements comprehensive education programming that addresses abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The program incorporates adulthood preparation instruction across multiple domains including healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, parent-child communication, and career and educational success. As a state-level PREP recipient, Wisconsin administers the grant through its existing infrastructure and may sub-award portions of funding to local public health departments, county governments, and community-based service providers to implement evidence-based programs at the community level.
