“100,000 babies × 400 diapers = 40 million diapers... $20,000,000 ÷ 40,000,000 = $0.50 per diaper.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence confirms the 400 diaper count, but does not provide the total budget figure of $20 million or the calculation of $0.50 per diaper. One source mentions a '$77 Million Non-Profit' but does not link this to the specific cost per diaper for this program.

“Newsom is touting the “first-in-the-nation program””
DISPUTED
One source explicitly states that Newsom is calling it a 'first-in-the-nation program'. However, another source directly contradicts this by stating that 'free diaper programs exist in other states, such as Tennessee and Delaware,' suggesting the 'first-in-the-nation' claim is inaccurate or refers only to the specific scope/model.
