Under the original funding source, Phones for Families will continue to be able to provide phones to families enrolled in Family Support Programs, including MIECHV, FSSD, and FaDSS programs.
FSSD, FaDSS, and other family support programs:
Phones for Families funding for FSSD and FaDSS programs will continue for a limited amount of time until funding runs out. We currently expect funding to last until December 2021 but the exact date will depend on how many phones are being used.
MIECHV Programs:
Phones for Families funding for MIECHV programs will continue beyond the expiration of the funds for all family support programs due to a new funding stream that will be coming in soon. For this reason, it will be important for Phones for Families and MIECHV programs to track which phones are given out to MIECHV families. MIECHV programs that have unused phones need to submit a request for a phone before distributing it for tracking purposes.
