Family Resource Centers
The Family Resource Services Program for the Lowell (Massachusetts) Housing Authority (LHA) was launched in 1998 to provide support for families and children living within two housing projects, North Common Village and the George Flanagan Development. Through a contract with the LHA, Casey Family Services is providing a growing, multi-faceted program for children and families through a family resource center, activities for children during out-of-school time, and home visits, as well as family advocacy and support.

In 2001, the program will expand to two family resource centers, enhance its community outreach and actively assist other Casey Divisions in building similar programs. For example, in 2001, the New Hampshire Division opened a family resource center to serve rural, low-income children and families in a middle school setting.
