Special Services at Home (SSAH) Funding Workshop

Filling out funding applications can be difficult. This workshop provides a step-by-step review of completing the Special Services at Home (SSAH) funding application. The SSAH program supports families who are caring for a child with a developmental disability and/or a physical disability. The funding for this program can be used towards personal development and growth and/or family relief and support. The amount of funding a family receives is dependent on the type and amount of service the child requires, what other assistance is available in the community, and what kind of support is already being received by the family.
