title: Models and momentum for insuring low-income, undocumented immigrant children in California.
abstract: Undocumented immigrant children are an underserved, vulnerable population that has not benefited from the recent expansion of publicly funded children's health insurance programs. The California Endowment funded a two-year demonstration project to provide subsidized health insurance coverage to more than 7,500 children through five nonprofit organizations. Sustaining and promoting coverage for this population will require continuing subsidies through a mix of private and public funding. Locally based, comprehensive initiatives are in place or emerging in a growing list of California counties.
