Hartford Division Services
Family Economic Success (FES): FES supports low-income and working families in building stronger financial futures through a comprehensive approach of the Annie E. Casey Foundation that integrates workforce development efforts, family economic support, and community investments. Casey Family Services plays an important role in the Foundation’s broad strategy, developing partnerships and evaluating the needs of families within the communities that it serves.
Family Reunification Services: Working with families whose young children recently entered foster care, Casey Family Services supports parents, or in some cases, other relatives, in reuniting with their children. Casey offers services and supports that help families overcome the risks that led to their children’s placement into foster care.
Foster Care and Adoption: Casey Family Services offers foster care services to children who cannot live with their birth families, primarily due to neglect or abuse. Children in foster care may live with unrelated foster parents, relatives, or families who plan to adopt them. Services focus on the safety and healthy development of the child, including the development of lifelong family connections that help children exit foster care and prepare for adulthood.
National Tax Assistance for Working Families Campaign: A partnership between the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, this effort puts the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to work for low-income families. Casey Family Services works with local volunteers and organizations to provide families with free assistance in filing tax returns, claiming the EITC and other tax credits, and learning about ways to build assets and financial stability.
Post-Permanency Services: A pioneer in post-adoption services for children from foster care, Casey Family Services works with adoptive parents to address the emotional and psychological challenges foster children face during adoption. In addition, the agency works with guardians and other relative caregivers to maintain family permanence.
