A program through DDS

FSAP is a program that gives the caregiver $250 monthly to help with the needs of the child.  To qualify for the benefit the caregiver must earn $45,000 annually or less, have a child under the age of 18, the child must have a development disability, and the caregiver cannot be receiving an adoption subsidy.

I’ve attached the application.  The caregiver will need to complete the application and provide all the documents it requests.  It  can be faxed, mailed, or emailed it to the following:
