× 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.

About The Project

The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Training Program Partnership and Stipend Opportunity is a 1.5-year long commitment to expand and improve infection prevention and control (IPC) training curriculum and skills labs for rising healthcare personnel in California, specifically CNAs.
The California Department of Public Health Healthcare-Associated Infections (CDPH HAI) Program will select stipend recipients via competitive application. Priority will be given to training programs that have expressed interest in using Project Firstline IPC curriculum or are located in regions of the state where healthcare facilities may benefit from additional resources to improve health outcomes. Stipend recipients will receive $20,000 and recognition on the CDPH HAI Program project webpage.
