The Family Services Division was developed through our recognition
of the need for comprehensive family strengthening services within
low-income housing developments in Palm Beach County. It is clear
that bricks and mortar alone cannot provide effective supports
to families struggling with the complex issues of poverty. All
of our programs embrace a pro-active and holistic approach to
the coordination and delivery of health, human, social and educational
services with a focus on individual, family, and community responsibility.
Through this design, a network of community development, human
empowerment and social service providers work together with individuals,
families, and the community to build capacity of the individual
and of the community. The Family Services Division is built upon
the belief that communities can be revitalized when success is
realized in assisting residents to embrace pride in self and
community as well as helping residents set and obtain realistic
goals for themselves and their families.
