To make a referral of a child in out-of-home care:
•Complete this UPDATED referral form and return via email (referrals@treehouseforkids.org)
•Educational Advocacy referrals can be made using the referral form in your Regional Forms drive or via FAMLINK

The fine print:
•Incomplete requests cannot be processed and will be returned for completion.
•Treehouse does not reimburse for Little Wishes.
•Your email address acts as your authorization for Treehouse to provide services (no signature required.)
•Your email address acts as your verification that no state funding or other resources are available to fund the requested services for youth.

Please let us know if you have any questions or need assistance at referrals@treehouseforkids.org.
