Return on Investment of Family Resource Centers to the Child Welfare System
Watch the Webinar: Cost Savings FRCs Yield for Rural and Urban Child Welfare Systems
Family Resource Centers (FRCs) are strengths-based, family-centered, community-based organizations that support families in a variety of areas that reflect local contexts and needs. Resources available through FRCs range from basic needs (such as food pantries and utility assistance) to parenting classes, peer support, family development, and more.
FRCs meet families where they are, help them build on their strengths, and connect them to resources so that they can sustainably meet their needs.
In these reports, produced in collaboration with the National Family Support Network, OMNI quantified the savings to the child welfare system in Teller County, Colorado from investment in the Community Partnership Family Resource Center (CPFRC) as well as in Orange County, California from the Westminster Family Resource Center (WFRC).
