× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

RPPC Request for Application - 2022

The purpose of this Request for Application (RFA) is to solicit competitive applications from eligible organizations (Part II. I. Eligibility Criteria) for funding from the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Division (MCAH) of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to administer the Regional Perinatal Program of California (RPPC). Under the direction of MCAH, applicants will develop and maintain a network of providers and facilities within specific geographic areas and match the needs of high-risk perinatal patients with the appropriate type and level of care. Applicants can also apply to implement other maternal and infant health programs including supplemental activities to ensure regional coordination. Such activities include a statewide collaborative of public and private entities that combine clinical medicine, population health and systems of care to promote quality improvement efforts in neonatal and maternal health, the California Perinatal Transport System, and improve systems of care to support maternal-risk appropriate care.
