FAMILY SUPPORT FUND
The Family Support Fund exists to support families engaged in PSESD programs* when temporary hardship impacts their child’s ability to attend school or childcare.
IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING A REQUEST, SCROLL DOWN, REVIEW THE PURPOSE AND PROCESS DOCUMENT, AND FILL IN THE APPLICATION.
Quickly and simply, the Family Support fund provides Housing, Item or Transportation Support, to parents with youth engaged in PSESD programs. These direct service programs range from home visiting to early learning and on to drop-out prevention and reengagement. All families engaged in these programs pre-qualify as income or circumstance eligible as part of their program engagement.
We understand that learning and thriving happens only after the basic needs of shelter, safety and health are met.
Most often, the Family Support Fund is expending $500 - $1500 per family for rent or deposits when emergencies hit or car repairs so families can drive children to school or get themselves to work. The Fund also provides small items like gas cards, car seats and diapers, offering safety and health.
