The North Carolina Farmworker Health Program (NCFHP) is excited to announce our Request for Applications (RFA) to help community organizations increase access to primary, preventive and behavioral health services for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families in North Carolina.
NCFHP funding is meant to supplement existing resources in communities and reduce barriers to care so that farmworkers and their family members have equitable access to comprehensive and continuous health care services. NCFHP supports the development of sustainable services for farmworkers by encouraging local partnerships and collaborations to include farmworkers in services that are available for the general community.
