Emergency Funding

With our COVID-19 FUND, we are meeting emergency needs - providing our families with rental, utility, telephone and transportation and other basic items as necessary.

Mental Health

  • The mental health of our families is so important to us. We have a 24-7 hotline for crisis intervention. Click here to email Marilyn Quinones for more info.
  • We are also taking new cases where a psycho-social assessment of the parenting problem/needs of the family is being conducted.
  • Using a person-centered approach, our case management team has been monitoring progress toward family self-sufficiency during this challenging time using a customized plan .

Vital Services

  • Connecting families to primary care providers and medical homes.
  • Linking families to specialty care and therapeutic services that is accessible and affordable.
  • Coaching families during this emergency about financial planning and budgeting.
  • Being advocates for kids’ services and guidance for parents on navigating systems to ensure they are being heard, especially now when so much is unknown.
