Project will expand a successful pilot effort to create a countywide network of family coaches. Building Forever Families Initiative (BFFI) trains skilled graduates to become family coaches, working directly with DCFS and troubled families to help heal trauma and reunify families or place children in safe, stable healthy permanent homes. The program will usher in a new service model, addressing several LA2050 priorities: support for foster youth, income inequality, community safety, social support networks, and access to health and mental care.
