Published: Oct. 8, 2024Updated: Oct. 29, 2024

If your child has significant medical needs, they will need more support at home, which can come with greater expenses. Add these goals to your Roadmap for help applying for funding assistance to support your child's medical treatments, in-home nursing, family life at home, and more.

Public Benefits goal

Enroll in Medi-Cal using the HCBA waiver
