Fighting Back Partnership--- Partnership with City of Vallejo-South Solano Project Room Key   

Family Resource Centers & Creating A Beloved Community Program

Fighting Back Partnership has Family Resource Centers (FRC) and the newly 2020 launching of the Creating A Beloved Community: Family and the Road to Resilence Program (CaBC) in Vallejo, which are conveniently located in neighborhoods to serve families with children 0-18. The FRCs 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. Both FRC & CaBC bring together services and activities that educate, enhance skills, and promote healthy choices for families.

FRC & CaBC has its own unique culture and focus, but each offers comprehensive case management services.  FRC has three objectives: (1) meet basic needs like rental assistance and food, (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,

• Over 500 low-income, under resourced families and individuals built more stable and successful futures by partnering with the FRC
