Use of Funds

Children’s Fund

Dollars in the Children’s Fund are used to cover emergency expenses for children and their families who may not be covered through other means. This may mean assistance with housing, food, utilities, vehicle repairs, etc. that are geared to maintaining children in their own homes whenever possible and to helping families achieve reunification. Expenditures are requested by Department social workers and approved by the Children, Youth, and Families Division Manager.

Individual Expenditure Accounts

Dollars in this area are earmarked for particular expenditures by the donor. This is typically done in response to a solicitation by a Joining Forces for Families social worker who determines the need and seeks donations to fill that need. This may include help for a particular family or individual or assistance with a neighborhood event or program.
