Kids Health Coverage Campaign
Our first step into how local and regional advocacy efforts can fuel a statewide policy effort, and it did.
TCE helped fund the outreach efforts for Healthy Kids throughout the state of California, which focused on enrolling uninsured children from birth through age five in families with incomes below 300 percent of the federal poverty level in health coverage.
A coalition of organizations, supported by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services and TCE, engaged in outreach efforts targeting families with uninsured children to offer support in navigating the application process for various health programs, such as Healthy Kids, Medi-Cal, and Healthy Families.

$4M
in grants to Healthy Kids programs throughout the state
“It is a travesty that thousands of eligible children lack healthcare coverage because barriers in our healthcare system prevent them from enrolling in public health insurance programs.”
