All Collaboratives provide three basic types of services: Family Stabilization and Case Management, Information and Referral, and Community Capacity Building.

Family Stabilization
Family stabilization services involves the provision of interventions across the service continuum aimed at resolving immediate crisis, identifying and linking to needed resources, and/or providing the support and supervision necessary to achieve permanency goals and family well-being.

Community Case Services
Each Collaborative is engaged in building the capacity of their target neighborhoods by offering technical assistance, training, resource development, and small grants to their community partners.

Supportive Case Services
A CFSA social worker has responsibility for case management functions in these cases. Collaborative staff will be engaged to provide varying levels of support to the CFSA worker to assist in stabilizing the family. Collaborative staff assists the worker by providing the core services, which include housing support, visitation and employment support.

Youth Aftercare provides community-based case management and supportive services for young adults who are exiting the foster care system.

Community Capacity Building
Each Collaborative is engaged in building the capacity of their target neighborhoods by offering technical assistance, training, resource development, and small grants to their community partners.
