There has been a sharp decrease in our area in the number of beds in adult facilities that will accept Auxiliary Grant recipients. We also have clients who can function well in private settings, but do not do well in group settings. There are families in our area who are willing to house and care for these clients, however they cannot afford their care without some form of reimbursement. AFC is a program funded by auxiliary grant which makes it possible for our clients to receive care in these private foster homes.
How is AFC Funded?
Adults who meet income eligibility criteria and appropriate level-of-care requirements will receive Auxiliary Grant (AG) funding. The AG Program provides income supplements to low-income individuals residing in a licensed ALF or an approved AFC home. This assistance is made available through Montgomery County Department of Social Services to ensure that adults are able to maintain a standard of living that meets a basic level of need.
