Family Support Grant Application

Home for Every Child exists to support more children growing up in loving families by helping families overcome the barriers that prevent them from opening their homes and assisting them in accessing the services that they need to care for their children well over the long term. Our Family Support Grant program helps adoptive, foster, and kinship families access:

• Assessments (for adopted/foster/kinship children)
• Respite (in-home or out of home support)
• Counseling (for parents, adopted/foster/kinship children, and/or siblings)
  • This may include trauma care such as EMDR therapy, neurofeedback or  other related interventions
• Attachment/Trauma- focused parent training events

 APPLICATION CRITERIA

The level of assistance that we offer is based on the following guidelines:

1. The needs of the child
2. The financial need of the family
3. The urgency of the need
4. Our availability of funds

Tell us about the background of this support request
(What is going on and what are you needing)

The intention of this section is not to be overly arduous or intrusive, but to provide an opportunity for you to review your financial situation, and perhaps to discover financial resources or unnecessary expendatures that were therwise unkonwn. Some families have never taken the time to review their finances in detail and we have found this to be a worthwhile exercise. 

This financial review also helps us to get an additional perspective on your family's situation and need.

Note: If your income or expense does not occure on a monthly basis, please average it out and enter the monthly average.

For example: You receive the Carbon Rebate Check from the Federal Goverment every 3 month. Lets assume you get $300 every 3 month.
You would calculate: $300 x 4 = $1200 / 12 = $100 per month in average.
