Family Forward Program Community Partners

The goals that are jointly set by the individual, family, and case manager are monitored, modified as required, and re-prioritized as goals are achieved.   A minimum of a 12-month commitment is required for acceptance to this program with extensions granted contingent upon progress and outcomes.

The Family Forward program addresses the belief that families and individuals are more likely to succeed when multiple barriers are addressed concurrently.  A community consortium of partnering organizations provides and receives referrals for programs and services that participants require as part of this program.   Family Forward is available to low income individuals and families in the 5 county service area.
