Program Goal/Vision:

The goal of this program is to provide transportation to appointments such as the doctor, dentist, mental health services, family visitations, extracurricular activities and various other transportation needs. This program also aims to provide gasoline vouchers or cards to those struggling to keep up with the cost of transportation if they have their own vehicle and the time to transport themselves or others to activities, appointments or events. This is partially a volunteer-based program, meaning that we will have a volunteer sign up page on our website where someone can sign up to a list of people that we can call on to help us provide these transportation needs by volunteering their time and vehicle while we can reimburse them for their gasoline. Eventually would like to see KHA have a couple of vehicles, such as a car and a 15-passenger van, in order to provide these services without asking volunteers to use their personal vehicles.in.

Who is this aimed to help:

This program is intended to help provide mental health resources to foster children, their families, social workers within the foster care community and system, along with anyone else who works within the foster care community. This also means biological families of foster children and their foster families.

How do we Verify Need:

All our programs will have a “Verification of Need” Form, specific to the program that is being requested for assistance.
