Healthy Start NC Program provides financial support to expecting mothers and newborns to reduce maternal mortality and childhood poverty.

The Healthy Start NC Program offers financial assistance to expecting mothers and newborns to address pre- and post-birth needs. It provides a one-time $1,500 award during pregnancy and monthly $500 awards for the first year after birth. The program uses Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds and private donations, ensuring benefits are used for needs like food, prenatal care, and child care. The Division of Social Services administers the program, partnering with a nonprofit organization to maximize private fundraising efforts.
