Cost Sharing

Why we ask you to cost share. 

• Certain Lighthouse services are funded partially by grants, and these grants require that we ask clients to share in the cost of providing this service. 

• Your contribution helps cover the various direct costs as well as the indirect costs associated with providing these services. 

Cost Share Recommendations. 

• Our suggested cost share is determined from sliding fee scales based on your reported monthly income relative to poverty level. 

• These are guidelines only. It is up to each client to determine what makes sense in their own situation. In cases of hardship, the cost can be waived entirely. 

• We will work with you to ensure you receive the services you need in order to remain safe and independent in your home and live a vital life.
