HomePlace Direct Resources
Enrolling in HomePlace creates the opportunity for direct resources when needed. You may have access to many kinds of direct resources, such as birthing and parenting supplies. Any resources received through HomePlace are intended to be gifts not income. If you have concerns that receiving any of these resources, including the cash assistance, may impact any benefits you are receiving, please talk with your County financial worker (if you have one) and let us know if there are any resources you do not want to receive.
HomePlace Comprehensive Supports
Through HomePlace, you will have access many kinds of individual and communal supports, including therapy, financial advising, spiritual direction, pre & postpartum doula or birthworker, lactation support, communal education classes and groups on a variety of topics related to pregnancy, birthing, and parenting. Supports will evolve and change over time based on input from participants.
HomePlace Communal Agreements
We ask that participants commit to these communal agreements designed to help create an impactful experience for you, your family, and our HomePlace community. You will work with a HomePlace Guide to support your overall experience. You and your Guide will communicate if there are agreements that need to be revisited.
Data Privacy
As part of your participation, information will be stored in our HomePlace Portal. This information will be shared only with relevant Liberty HomePlace representatives and will follow all legal data privacy regulations. If you would like information to be shared with other providers in the future, there will be release of information options available.
