Crisis Funds Disbursement Contracts, formerly known as Crisis Intervention Services, are contracted with other governmental entities to provide immediate funds to an individual or family in order to alleviate or diffuse a situation of immediate crisis. These funds allow the Division to address the critical financial and resource needs of families served by the Division.  The funds are utilized for families being investigated for child abuse/neglect who are receiving services. The service is accessed only when other resources to alleviate the crisis have been fully explored.  Eligible services include home repair, child safety items, health related purchases, employment/school supplies, household items, rent/mortgage arrears, and transportation.
