Mission Statement
Families First's mission is to ensure the success of children in jeopardy by empowering families.
About This Cause
In 2017, Families First served more than 37,000 children, women and families during life’s toughest storms. We currently are located in the historic Westside, with two (2) group homes that service foster care youth in our city, one (1) home that serves single mothers in the foster care system , and a Independent Living Program (ILP) for youth aging out of foster care. Additionally, we provide counseling services, mentor youth in foster care and youth living in poverty, social services to at-risk and pregnant teens, and provide early education opportunities for at-risk youth. We also manage 45 units at a local apartment complex, which offers shelter and safety for homeless families struggling with a major illness, mental health concerns or substance abuse issues. In these facilities children, youth and families learn the importance of education, working to support their family and important life-skills. At Families First, we recognize the cycles of poverty are not broken by one program alone, so that is why we offer 11 programs. Through multiple locations, collaborations with community partners and virtual services, Families First responds whenever and wherever we are needed.
