By giving information, referral, and coordination to existing services, the project saves its own limited resources, and involves the family in more generic services in the community. For all the services the project offers, the budget is quite small. The balance is supported by the agency which is funded in part by the United Way and the county. While families do make a financial contribution toward the services they receive, based on their ability to pay, most of the families in the program have low income so they do not pay any of the costs. The same holds true for financial support.
Families receive assistance in paying for diapers, medicine, and the like.
