The Chafee Foster Care Independence Act allows Louisiana to offer Medicaid to youth aging out of foster care and leaving state custody. Those enrolled in Medicaid under the Chafee Act are eligible for the full range of Medicaid covered services. However, our residents occasionally have medical needs arise that are not covered by the state. We want to make sure each young adult has the access to medical care and resources as they are preparing for independent living.

By donating to our medical needs fund, you are providing a young adult the access to timely medical care, services, and medication.
