Modeled after Michigan’s Rx Kids initiative, the Little Seeds Fund is Tulsa’s first-ever, place-based financial support for expectant mothers. This fund will support 83 families living in North and east Tulsa with monthly cash payments to ensure financial security.
Families will be identified through partnerships with trusted community partners like Parent Child Center of Tulsa and El Centro. While this is a pilot, we’re eager to take lessons learned and think critically about other ways to support families with young children.
“The Parent Child Center of Tulsa Family Connects program is thrilled to participate in the Little Seeds Fund!
Family Connects nurses make home visits to new parents and their babies to provide support, education and connection to community resources. The Little Seeds Fund allows our nurses to connect families with an additional layer of support that would be difficult to find elsewhere.”
