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.
