Virginia Health Care Foundation

VHCF funds local Project Connect application assisters/outreach workers who help individuals and families apply for, enroll in, and renew eligibility for Cardinal Care (Virginia’s Medicaid/FAMIS programs). Project Connect assisters can help with completing Medicaid/FAMIS applications and renewals, navigating eligibility and enrollment processes and issues, and answering questions about Medicaid and FAMIS. These assisters are trained to provide free, unbiased help. A full list of Project Connect application assisters, their contact information, and the regions and localities they serve is available below.

Project Connect is made possible with funding from the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services.
