# Home Care Package Funding ## How is Home Care Package Funding Managed in Maica? In **Maica**, `Funding` for Aged Care `Participants` with Home Care Package Funding is managed through a Quick Action located on the Participants Service Agreement. This Quick Action is the `Manage Budget` tool and is further explained in more detail [here](/maica-knowledge-base/service-agreements/agreement-management/aged-care-agreements/manage-budget.md). Essentially, within the `Manage Budget` Quick Action you will manage all your Home Care Package Funding, however it is important to note that once a Budget has been created, **Maica** will generate a `Funding Record` for your Participant with the relevant data. This `Funding Record` will sit on your Participants Contact Record, and whilst is not useful in managing your Participants Funding, it will provide a handy overview of the Budget information. ## What is included in a Home Care Package Funding Record? Within a `Home Care Package` Funding Record you can find the following information and functionality: * Funding Budget Information * Funding Period Information (Start Date & End Date) * Funding Items * Funding Overviews & Charts ## What are the key components of a Home Care Package Funding Record? The key components of a Home Care Package `Funding` Record are the `Funding Items`, these are explained in further detail below. ### Funding Item The `Funding Item` represents the specific Plan Budget Items or Components included in a Participant's `Home Care Package`. Generally, these define what `Support Purposes` have been selected to form part of a `Home Care Package Budget`. For example, when Managing your Home Care Budget, if you have selected an Oxygen Supplement, as shown below.

This will then be created as a `Funding Item` record in your `Funding Record`, as per below:
