# §20.504. What short-term homemaker services can Child Assistance pay for?


You, the social services program, can use Child Assistance funds to pay for homemaker services as specified in [§ 20.501](/cfr/25/20.501.md) and this section. While housekeeping services are covered, homemaker services must focus on training household members in such skills as child care and home management. Homemaker services are provided for:

- (a) A child who would otherwise need foster care placement or who would benefit from supportive (protective) supervision;
- (b) A severely handicapped or special needs child whose care places undue stress on the family; or
- (c) A child whose care would benefit from specialized training and supportive services provided to family members.
