What are Family Success Centers?

Family Success Centers are a one-stop source of social services information, referrals and services to assist individuals and families in setting goals, learning skills, and accessing the services they need to build a stronger, healthier and self-sufficient family unit.

The Family Success Administration Division (FSAD) of the Human Services Department and on-site provider agencies together bring services to the community in a way that is:

• Family Friendly - The centers are designed to provide a respectful, inviting atmosphere where staff are friendly and truly care.
• Family Centered - Staff will work with you to develop plans and find services to meet your needs.
• Easy to Access - You provide your personal information just once for all services offered through the center.
• Coordinated - Staff from different agencies work together on your behalf to coordinate all the social services you need.
