In an effort to serve as many families as possible, LISS is intended to
be a last resort for funding and other funding sources must be exhausted
prior to the distribution of LISS funds.
LISS funds can assist with future services that have not already
taken place or been purchased. LISS can not reimburse or pay for
services already occurred.
LISS is not designed to be an emergency resource.
LISS funds are available through the contracted agencies on a first-
come, first served basis. There is no guarantee that funding requests will
be approved.
Anyone can make a referral for LISS services. It is suggested that if you have a case manager/resource/service coordinator that they are contacted so they can assist you through the process.
Once the LISS provider receives the application you will have 10 business days to submit any other items that are required.
