Kids and Benefits Toolkit

Published September 30, 2025

Context


Food, housing, healthcare – these are basic human rights every family should have. Some kids and their families are not getting the support they need to thrive - and everyone needs a little help sometimes. Many mixed-status families are unaware that some of their family members may be eligible for supportive benefits programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, and subsidized housing. Misinformation and fear of immigration consequences keep more families away from the services that would help their families during hard times.  

This toolkit provides educational materials to guide families to access the programs for which they might be eligible and can be adapted to your use - add a logo, navigation contact information, and/or personalize the information to best reach your community.

Materials


These resources are intended to make it easier for partners to conduct community outreach or advocacy activities. PIF may be able to provide additional support. To learn more or discuss further, please contact alicia@pifcoalition.org.
