In-Home Family Stability

The In-Home Family Stability Program is only available in Summit County. The program is offered through an agreement with Summit County Department of Job and Family Services and allocated Prevention, Retention and Contingency Funds and contracted through Summit County Children Services (SCCS).

The primary goal of the program is to maintain children in their own home and stabilize kinship placements if a child needs to enter agency care. The program provides parents and kinship caregivers with social, emotional, parental and educational support to reduce the family’s stress and minimize the risks of abuse and neglect to the children.

Services are provided to parents or kinship caregivers within Summit County with children, newborn to 18-year-old (or 21 if in agency custody), receiving SCCS services. In home services are provided and available 24/7 and include addressing crises and providing conflict resolution.
