I am a non-parent caregiver for a child in my home. What services are available to me and the child?

You can apply for Temporary Assistance and Medicaid for them. Your income does not count as this would be considered a child only case. You may apply for SNAP for the entire household as well if your combined income is below the income guidelines.
