Trillium launches funding initiative for foster kids with complex needs

SOUTHEASTERN, N.C. — Trillium Health Resources has opened funding applications for North Carolina Licensed Child Placement agencies to hire staff that can recruit new families interested in providing supportive home for children with high-demand needs. 

“Every child deserves a safe and loving home,” Adrienne Beatty, Trillium’s Director of Network Development, said in a press release. “We want to be sure the families in our communities feel supported in providing that home.”

The added focus on developing and expanding services is targeted for better coverage of children with complex needs, including wraparound supports. These supports include professionals, family members, and community partners working together to address the individual needs of a child, ensuring a child has the needed services and support.

Funding will cover the costs of local staff positions in Trillium’s 28-county region. Additional staff will then recruit and develop new families to provide supportive homes for these children.

Eligible in-network and out-of-network providers (who are already enrolled in NC Tracks) can apply athttps://bit.ly/3Buxi2Z. Applications are due by the close of business on December 31, 2022.
