Special Services At Home Program
Dufferin Child and Family Service is the TRANSFER PAYMENT AGENCY for the Special Services at Home Program (SSAH). The SSAH program assists families who are caring for their child/adult with a developmental disability at home.
- In Dufferin County workers are hired directly by families. DCAFS administers the SSAH contact dollars authorized by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.
- Special Services at Home Workers are not considered employees of Dufferin Child and Family Services.
- When a Dufferin family chooses to have DCAF administer their SSAH funds, both the worker and the parent must complete time sheets. Cheques are processed on a bi-weekly basis by our finance department.
