Helping children, families, and communities grow stronger together.

Casey Family Services believes that the children in greatest trouble in America today are those whose parents lack the earnings, assets, services, or social support systems required to consistently meet their families’ needs. Most of these children are growing up in impoverished communities that are disconnected from the economic mainstream.

Casey Family Services works throughout New England and in Baltimore, Maryland, to help these isolated families stabilize their finances and accumulate savings. This approach, known as building family economic success or FES, involves three key components:

Building Assets

Asset-building involves strategies to help families build wealth and save for the future. Casey Family Services supports asset-building by sponsoring free income-tax-preparation services to help low-income families access the federal Earned Income Tax Credit.

Family Economic Supports

A network of public and private supports works to help families establish credit, reduce debt, and increase their financial security. For example, Casey Family Services collaborates with local banking institutions to establish individual development accounts for families to encourage long-term savings.

Workforce Development

Casey Family Services partners with communities to build the skills and education necessary among low-income workers to get good jobs and build careers.
