Our first Opening Doors Networking Breakfast had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, but our amazing sponsors helped us to "keep the doors open" by donating their sponsorship to our COVID-19 Emergency Fund.

We are beyond grateful for their generous support, which has allowed us to continue our essential operations during this challenging time.

Respite for Families of Children with Disabilities

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the corresponding closure of schools and services which typically support families who have children with disabilities, income eligibility requirements for in-home respite provided to these families has been waived through August 1, 2020.

For applications for which the income eligibility and other requirements have waived, all respite care must be delivered by an approved home health care agency which is already a member of The Arc’s Respite Consortium. Please note that individuals who receive any county, state or federal funding for in-home support services are not eligible for respite. Click here for more details.
