Concrete Family Support

Removing barriers so families can stay engaged.

Sometimes, it’s not a lack of effort that gets in the way.
It’s a lack of resources.

 

Through community support, we provide limited concrete assistance to address short-term needs for our current families.

What Concrete Support May Include

Concrete support is designed to stabilize our families during critical moments. Assistance may include:

  • Transportation support
  • Food assistance
  • Emergency supplies
  • Clothing for children and parents
  • Short-term stabilizing resources

These supports are intended to complement—not replace—court-mandated services.

Help meet practical needs for families

Items from our Amazon Wish List provide concrete support for daily programming—helping families feel welcomed, supported, and cared for.

How Concrete Support Helps Families Reunite

Reunification requires consistency, follow-through, and stability—often during already stressful circumstances. Concrete support helps remove obstacles that can interfere with that process.

By addressing immediate needs, this program helps our families:

  • Show up reliably for visits, classes, and court requirements
  • Maintain momentum during critical phases of reunification
  • Reduce stress that can impact parenting and engagement
  • Stay focused on long-term goals rather than short-term crises

While concrete support is short-term, its impact can be lasting—helping families remain connected, consistent, and moving forward together.
