The objective of the AFDC - emergency assistance child safety restraint seat program is to assist needy children and their families by providing newborn children with child safety restraint seats. The seats, as well as training on their use, will be provided to families with a newborn child upon their release from a hospital. The program is a joint effort between HCA and the department of health (DOH) as DOH is responsible for assuring the health and safety of New Mexico residents. In such capacity, DOH has agreed to obtain and distribute child safety restraint seats for the purpose of the EACSRS program.
