Family Resource Centers
Fighting Back Partnership's Family Resource Centers (FRC) support several key programs:
- Creating A Beloved Community: Family and the Road to Resilience Program (CaBC)
- Creating A Beloved Community: OUD Prevention and Education
- South Solano Project Room Key-City of Vallejo
The FRC programs offer support services for families in mitigating homelessness, protecting children and providing essential basic needs. The CaBC expand support services by providing quality programs for pregnant women and mothers with infants along with their families.
FRC has three objectives: (1) meet basic needs like rental assistance and equitable wage opportunities, (2) increase financial success through sound money management practices, and (3) support family success through parent education.
These objectives are achieved through:
- Linking families and individuals to basic needs resources in their communities
- Benefits screening and application assistance for public benefits
- Limited emergency financial assistance for rent, utilities, food, and clothing
- Financial counseling services that emphasize budgeting and savings
- Parent education and skill-building to minimize child abuse and neglect
- Parent supports to increase engagement in their children’s education
- Holiday assistance that includes toys for youth and resources for homeless families
Outcomes
As of Dec 1, 2019,
