Diversions consist of a one-time payment of $2,000 and are limited to one per year and up to 10 per lifetime. Those that receive a Diversion can apply for a monthly cash grant after the first day of the month, three months from the date that the payment was received.
Diversion Services are available to families with biological or adopted children and pregnant women.
