As the recession deepens, families are living on the brink of crisis. More people are losing their jobs, health care and homes, forcing parents to make desperate decisions about what bills to leave unpaid. Financial problems threaten parents' ability to care for and protect their children.

Our Family Support Services help avert a crisis and provide for a family's immediate basic needs – groceries, utility bills, medication, or gas money. When children are at risk for abuse, we provide a safe place for them to stay and a temporary respite for parents in distress.

We work with vulnerable families to move beyond a crisis and break down the barriers that keep them from being successful. Together we help families make a plan to achieve long-term stability and lead healthy, productive lives.
