What are guardianship subsidies?
Guardianship subsidies are for grandparents who have permanent guardianship (Title 8) of children who have been part of the child welfare system and reasonable efforts to reunify the child and parents have been made. The Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) established an ongoing program of subsidized permanent guardianship. There are several items that a guardian must do to qualify to receive these subsidies. To find out more contact your Child Protective Services (CPS) case manager to apply.
