    Doula Access for All

    This grant will support marginalized communities by diversifying and expanding the doula workforce to ensure barrier-free access for pregnant and birthing people of color in Los Angeles. The program will address systemic barriers and offer sustainable solutions, increasing the number of doulas covered under the Medi-Cal doula benefit and improving maternal and infant health outcomes for BIPOC individuals, thereby reducing the reproductive crisis impacting communities of color.
