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
