Providing Quality Services to More Than Two Thousand Families Each Year
In 2008-09, the six FRCs operated by the CVCC provided assistance to 2,509 families.
Approximentely 58% of these families include a child in elementary, middle, or high school, and the majority of those include multiple students. Ninty-one percent of families receiving assistance fall in the category of "low" and "very low income," as defined by the City of Chula Vista.
More then three quarters of our families are referred to an FRC by someone at a school site. Many others are referred by other community organizations or brought to an FRC by a friend or family member.
Services provided to families cover a wide range of needs, including academic support, positive youth development,basic needs services, employment preperation and search, linking to counseling, life problems counseling, application assistance for health insurance and food stamps, . The context in which services are provided also ranges from immediate crisis intervention to long-term case management.
