Fact Sheet

What is the First Things First Central Maricopa Regional Partnership Council Public Health Insurance Outreach and Enrollment Assistance Grant Program?

The Central Maricopa Regional Partnership Council (RPC) has identified the need for regional implementation of the following strategy:

  • Public Health Insurance Outreach and Enrollment Assistance to ensure eligible community families enroll in and retain health coverage and other public benefits for their young children

The intended target population of this funding opportunity is the population of families with children ages birth through five who are likely to qualify for public health insurance, yet are currently underserved. Additionally, the targeted population should include underserved populations or underserved geographic locations, focusing specifically on families up to 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. This strategy targets all families with children ages birth through five, as well as health professionals who serve families with children in this age range throughout the Central Maricopa region. Specifically, the strategy targets children ages birth through five in the Central Maricopa region who do not have public health insurance but who are eligible, or those who are currently enrolled in KidsCare and need to maintain public health insurance.

Applications submitted in response to the Request for Grant Application (RFGA) must serve the families within the geographic boundaries of the Central Maricopa Regional Partnership Council.

What is the Total Amount of Funding Available?

Approximately $280,000 is available in this Request for Grant Application. Contract renewal will be contingent upon satisfactory contract performance, evaluation and availability of funds.

The anticipated contract period for any resultant grant will be July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011.
