Family Resource Centers
In an effort to improve services to families, Cal Farley’s operates Family Resource Centers (FRC) in Amarillo, Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Oklahoma City. Our Family Resource Centers:
• provide an important bridge between children living on our campuses and their families. • assist with in-home support to families while their child is on the waiting list for admission to a campus. • encourage and facilitate family preservation in order to keep the child at home near family, friends and neighbors • provide a variety of assistance to Cal Farley’s alumni who live in the community.
Following are several examples of the assistance provided to families through our FRCs:
• Assist families who lose financial support in locating and moving into alternative housing. • Coordinate services with various community resources to help families become self-sufficient again. • Coordinate efforts between Child Protective Services and families. • Provide case management services to help families access Food Stamps and Medicaid. • Provide school supplies for children remaining in a home. • Provide transportation and support services to allow families to spend Christmas and summer breaks together. • Assist families to avoid financial crisis situations by developing and following a budget. • Assist parents in GED class enrollment. • Provide transportation to assist families in accessing community resources. • Provide holiday assistance for families. • Provide financial assistance with rent and utilities to families in danger of becoming homeless. • Assist families with completing necessary paperwork during times of crisis. • Provide support for parents and encourage them to seek services related to their own psychological and health needs. • Provide coaching, mentoring and family support.
