  4. All assistance provided must benefit a child, directly or indirectly. 
  5. OCH pays for immediate needs for specific items or services, not general requests for on-going needs or resources unlikely to fix a problem. 
  6. No assistance can be provided for more than $1,000 per application. Applicant is responsible for receipts. Receipts are required for reimbursement.

  9. Laptops, Chromebooks and Tablets are only provided when truly needed.

  12. OCH is unable to pay for Marijuana related expenses.
