Family resource centers provide a safe, accessible place for families to connect with comprehensive, coordinated services that help them strengthen their families and become more self-reliant. Programs at each center are tailored to the culture, resources and needs of the community they serve, and focus on building on the strengths of each family and individual. While programs vary according to local needs, other core services of family resource centers include Family Development (family-centered case management using a proven, research-based approach); Resource Information and Referral (helping families connect and access local resources); Access to Healthcare and Nutrition; Youth Development; and Emergency Assistance.
