Child Care Services
HRSA Service Definition
Description:
The RWHAP supports intermittent child care services for the children living in the household of HIV-infected clients for the purpose of enabling clients to attend medical visits, related appointments, and/or RWHAP-related meetings, groups, or training sessions.
Allowable use of funds include:
- A licensed or registered child care provider to deliver intermittent care
- Informal child care provided by a neighbor, family member, or other person (with the understanding that existing federal restrictions prohibit giving cash to clients or primary caregivers to pay for these services)
Program Guidance:
The use of funds under this service category should be limited and carefully monitored. Direct cash payments to clients are not permitted.
Such arrangements may also raise liability issues for the funding source which should be carefully weighed in the decision process.
