What is FaDSS?
Our Family Development and Self-Sufficiency Program (FaDSS) is a home visitation program for low income families looking for assistance in reaching their goals. FaDSS families participate voluntarily in free services in partnership with their Family Development Specialist who works with the whole family to address their basic needs, improve child well-being, and develop career opportunities that, in turn, improve lives, families, and communities. We work with community partners to help those in the program gain access to needed services.
Examples of family goals we can assist with:
- Continuing Education: Equivalency Diploma, Work Certifications, College
- Improving Job Opportunities: Resume Writing, Interview Skills, Completing Applications
- Building Parenting Skills: Classes, Finding Child Care, Nutrition Education
