Family Outreach and Resource Services

Through the Family Outreach and Resource Services, families living in homeless shelters are linked to medical homes, health insurance, well-child check-ups, immunizations, dental care, and early intervention services. Children also receive developmental screenings and receive referrals to additional resources and services as appropriate. The program also promotes healthy parent-child relationships through parenting groups.
