Respite Services

MEMPHIS RESPITE VOUCHER PROGRAM

This pilot program has been established to enable families in Shelby County to pay for respite services. Families must have children from birth to age 18 years, who have a serious emotional disturbance (SED) or a developmental disability, and be a resident of Memphis/Shelby County.

The Respite Voucher Program will provide funding to enable Shelby County families who are eligible for this program to pay for respite services, under Policies and Procedures developed by the Tennessee Respite Coalition.
