Overview

Expanding Outreach and Enrollment for Children & Youth

Using innovative, community-based, multi-ethnic outreach strategies, 19 grantees are working to identify and enroll eligible, but uninsured, children and youth in Medicaid and CHP+. Grantees represent county-coordinated collaborations; after-school programs; clinics; agencies serving low-income families, homeless families and abused children; a school district; and an affordable housing provider. Several grantees are also participating in a Trust-funded evaluation conducted by the University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Center to assess program effectiveness and identify models for replication.
