Most of these infants are dependents of the state; therefore, we will be working with
foster parents and families to encourage a healthy start in life. Jacob’s Hope will
• Train and support families in the care of substance exposed babies to help ensure
long-term success
• Facilitate visitation, according to DCS instructions, for families to allow the bond
between baby and caregiver to grow
• Provide resources for caregiver training, such as Cradles to Crayon, Safe Kids
Coalition, WIC, Healthy Kids/Babies Program, and Strong Families AZ
• Closely track and monitor the babies after they leave Jacob’s Hope for an agreed
upon time

substance abuse in Arizona could be cut in half
• Parent or caregiver will receive training and preparing
to take the baby home after detoxification which may
help prevent reoccurrence or disruption

13. Funding - Who, how much, how often?

• A combination of government funds, private donations, grants and volunteers
offering our state a low-cost alternative to traditional hospital care
• We are a 501(c)(3), all donations are tax exempt to the extent the law will allow
Daily cost in a hospital is $1300 to $1500 per baby
We can provide care for $800 per day for each baby
That saves the state over 40% of their cost per day
• a savings of over 1.5 million dollars in one year
