FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the starting point for accessing federal grants, loans, and work-study programs to help families pay for college and career school. Students and parents complete the FAFSA annually to determine financial aid eligibility, and many states and colleges use it for their own aid programs. Completing the FAFSA is the single most important step in the college financial planning process.

Feeding America is the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, operating a national network of over 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries. Families can use the food bank locator on the website to find free food resources near them anywhere in the country. The network serves tens of millions of people each year, including children, seniors, and working families.

Many states administer developmental disability services at the county or regional level rather than through a single statewide office, though the structure varies significantly by state. If a family does not see their state's specific system represented in this list, the most reliable next step is searching '[county name] developmental disabilities board' or '[state name] developmental disabilities agency' alongside contacting the state's Medicaid office about home and community-based services waivers. Differentiator: this is a guidance entry, not a single organization — it exists to help families in states without a county-board model (like Ohio's) understand how to locate their local equivalent, since most counties nationwide do have some form of local DD service coordination even where the state-level structure differs.

Every one of Ohio's 88 counties has its own Board of Developmental Disabilities, the local agency that determines eligibility, coordinates services, and in many cases directly provides early intervention, service and support administration, and adult day services. Families anywhere in Ohio should start here: search this interactive map or alphabetical list to find their county's board and contact information directly. Differentiator: this is the single most important Ohio-specific entry point in this dataset — it replaces the need to list out a separate entry for each of the 88 county boards individually.
