In 1991, Family Place's New Community Center was opened in the heart of the Shaw neighborhood, providing services to a predominantly African-American population. This center was closed in 1998; however, The Family Place has remained committed to serve to the English speaking population at our Mount Pleasant center and through partnerships with other community organizations. The Family Place currently has eleven full-time and 4 part-time staff, supplemented by many volunteers. Staff, volunteers, and participant families together create a rich and varied program that enhances family life and helps ensure a healthy future for our children.

The Family Place is a founding member of the national Family Resource Coalition now Family Support America. The Family Place staff has advised organizations throughout the United States and from other countries as well on providing high-quality comprehensive family support services.
