Alabama Cribs for Kids

Alabama has partnered with the national Cribs for Kids Program and is dedicated to "Helping every baby sleep safer." Funding from the federal Maternal and Child Health Services Title V Block Grant has allowed Alabama to purchase a limited number of play-yards for families who meet qualifications and need a safe sleep environment for their infants under one year of age. Cribs are provided through referrals from partner agencies. The referral form as well as the other required forms are below.

Forms that are required to be completed and returned by the requesting person or agency:

For the initial referral, the following four forms are required:

• Cribs for Kids Referral Form
• Enrollment In-service Form
• Hold Harmless Agreement
• Cribs for Kids Voucher

For follow-up with the family, after the cribs are received, these two short surveys are required:

• Cribs for Kids Survey 1
• Cribs for Kids Survey 2

Visit Crib for Kids for additional information on the program.

We are excited to have this video for grandparents and other trusted caregivers from the Safe to Sleep campaign.
