Funding for these programs is provided, in part, by grants from the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources Services Administration, and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Some of the available services provided by the programs include:
- Primary medical care
- Laboratory and diagnostic services

- Prescription medications
- Mortgage and rent assistance
- Utility assistance
- Transportation assistance
