Our Process

The Family Selection Committee reviews all applications, vetting them according to need, ability to pay, and willingness to partner in order to determine if the family meets the minimum requirements.

If the applicant(s) meets the requirements, then the committee will schedule a meeting with them at their current residence to review their application and to also perform a home visit.
​
The family selection committee then performs a final review and then recommends partner families to the Board of Directors.
