Grant Overview
Alaska's Covering Kids & Families Initiative, in conjunction with its local projects, the Statewide Coalition, and the State of Alaska Outreach Specialists, will take steps to make parents of eligible children aware of Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program; get their children enrolled in the programs, and help them remain enrolled as long as they are eligible.
