Program Description
The Family PACT Program is administered by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS),
Office of Family Planning (OFP). OFP is responsible for program policy, program monitoring, quality
improvement, provider enrollment and program evaluation. The overall goal of the Family PACT Program
is to ensure that low-income women and men have access to health information, counseling, and family
planning services to reduce the likelihood of unintended pregnancy and to maintain optimal reproductive
health. The intent of the program is to provide eligible California women and men access to comprehensive
family planning services in order to establish the timing, number and spacing of their children and maintain
optimal reproductive health.
