CURRENT STATUS OF THE PARENT-CHILD HOME PROGRAM IN MASSACHUSETTS
Funding from the state for the 2005 fiscal year was $1 million. These funds support 25 sites across the state. Grant and local funds support an additional 3 sites. All current Parent-Child Home Program sites have waiting lists and could be serving additional families if funding were available.
HISTORY OF THE PARENT-CHILD HOME PROGRAM IN MASSACHUSETTS
• The Massachusetts Parent-Child Home Program grew from 9 sites in 1998 to 42 sites in 2002.
• The Parent-Child Home Program was first included in the Massachusetts’ budget at $2 million in the budget for the 2000 fiscal year.
• The 2001 state budget included $3 million to support the expansion of The Parent-Child Home Program, $2 million for ongoing support for the 20 sites and 6 expansion sites that were funded in 2000 and $1 million to support the start-up of 13 additional sites.
• The 2002 budget maintained Program funding at $3 million, continuing support for all the sites, but not expanding it to enable them to reach out to the many families on their waiting lists. The program was able to serve over 1,200 families statewide.
• Both the House and Senate included The Parent-Child Home Program in their 2003 budgets; however, it was among the items vetoed by the Governor.
• Many sites were able to access temporary funding to continue the program for the year. Dedicated staff fundraised and recruited volunteers to continue serving families.
• In July 2003, the legislature restored funding for The Parent-Child Home Program at the level of $900,000 for the 2004 fiscal year. This funding supported 25 sites across the state. Three additional sites were supported with grants and local funds.
The Parent-Child Home Program served over 1500 families in Massachusetts during the past year.
