Helping children, families, and communities grow stronger together.

Relocated from Shelton to New Haven in 2003, the Administrative Offices of Casey Family Services house a number of departments focused on supporting the agency’s eight direct service divisions. In addition, the New Haven site is home to the organization’s Casey Center for Effective Child Welfare Practice, which provides technical assistance to public child welfare agencies across the nation.

The New Haven Direct Service Grants Program and a number of related initiatives supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation operate from this location. As the Foundation’s direct service agency, Casey Family Services collaborates with the grants program staff to support children, youth, and families throughout the city.

Raymond L. Torres, vice president of the Annie E. Casey Foundation and executive director of Casey Family Services, oversees the work of Casey Family Services in all eight divisions. John Padilla, a senior associate with the Annie E. Casey Foundation, leads the New Haven Direct Service Grants Program and the Foundation’s investment strategy in Connecticut.
