Coös County Family Support Project

Coös County Family Support Project

Program Goals:

  1. To create a coordinated system of sustainable services for familes with children aged 0-5 in Coos County
  2. To improve family functioning, promote wellness and build social, emotional and financial stability for families so that children can thrive

Eligibility:  N/A this program is focused on building a comprehensive system, not providing a specific service

The Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund awarded the Family Resource Center and its four partners - Child and Family Services, Northern Human Services, Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital and Weeks Medical Center a three year grant to create a family support system for Coos County by connecting and coordinating existing programs and services available in the county.

The project is designed to work with state and county officials as well as a citizen advisory council to connect existing programs to other county and state wide efforts.  In addition, the grant will pay for evaluation, baseline community assessments and best practice indicators to be developed by the staff of the Carsey Institute.
