Our Vision
Every child will have the opportunity to grow up in
a safe, loving and nurturing family with the supports
needed to ensure an enduring relationship.
Our Mission
- To ensure the development of family-based alternatives
for children with disabilities residing in institutional
settings or at risk of out-of-home placement, and
- To ensure the availability of family supports needed
so children have the opportunity to grow up in a loving,
nurturing and enduring relationship within a family
Our Work
We are dedicated to making our vision a reality for
children with disabilities.
Our current efforts are focused on the Family-Based
Alternatives Project, where we are engaged in four
interlocking activities:
- Collaborating with birth
families to explore possible alternatives to residential
care for children with disabilities
- Recruiting and preparing Support
Families to provide a home for children who can't
live with their birth families
- Linking together people, supports and community
agencies as partners in
making it possible for families and children to flourish
- Collaborating with state government and agencies
to remove barriers and promote family life for children
with disabilities.
