The
Family Place is a
community drop-in center that provides hospitality,
resources, and support services to expectant parents
and families with young children. Set in a multi-cultural
and multi-racial environment, our programs help meet
emergency needs, provide information and education,
enhance long-term family stability, and promote the
growth of a community of support among parents. The
Family Place focuses on expectant parents and families
with children through age five because of the critical
importance of the early years in every child's life.
The Family Place collaborates and partners with
other community agencies in helping to provide a
network of services for low-income, underserved
families. The 2008 annual budget is $616,320. The
Family Place currently serves approximately 350
families each year. Services are free for participating
families.
