McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Program
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Program, in collaboration with Canton
City Schools, provides tutorial services to enhance the learning of homeless children
in the Alliance area, offers educational assessments, and gives homeless children the extra help to become better students.
S.T.E.P. - Steps to Emancipation Proficiency
S.T.E.P. is a collaboration between the Alliance for Children & Families,
the Stark County Department of Job and Family Services (DJFS), and the Aultman

care. A-F.I.R.S.T. Capital Campaign
