About Us

Family Support Services' support families who face serious challenges in successfully caring for their children. These include families with children who have mental or physical disabilities; families taking care of children who are substance exposed, medically fragile or are HIV+; and families in which grandparents or other relatives have had to step in to care for children. Family Support Services also works with families in which children are at risk of abuse or neglect to help parents improve their parenting skills and ensure that these children are raised in safe and nurturing environments.

The Agency programs are delivered in Alameda, and San Francisco counties. We reach clients in some of the most underserved communities: over 75% of families served by Family Support Services are families of color, over 60% are headed by a single adult, and over 65% live in poverty. The Agency serves more than 2,700 Bay Area children annually.
