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 2006 annual budget is $597,604. The Family Place
currently serves approximately 300 families each
year. Services are free for participating families.
