Project Title: Boys Town South Florida Care Coordination Services
Project Description:

Boys Town South Florida’s mission is to change the way America cares for children and families. Our vision is an America where children and families can receive the effective, compassionate care they need to be healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Boys Town South Florida respectfully requests support from The Charles and Joan
Hermanowski Family Foundation to help children and families navigate complex formal care systems through our Care Coordination Services (CCS). This intervention program is designed to support youth involved in at least one formal care system, such as mental health, substance use, juvenile justice, or special education. The program focuses on preventing child abuse and neglect by empowering parents to make positive changes in
their children’s lives. Over 70% of families served are single parent-led households facing challenges like poverty, trauma, limited support systems, and untreated developmental or mental health concerns. Highly trained Family Consultants provide weekly 2 -hour home visits for 6–9 months, collaborating with families and providers such as school staff, therapists, case managers, probation officers, and attorneys to advocate for each families’ individual needs. In 2025 alone, nearly 404 children and 194 families were served and impacted across these service milestones:
• Engagement: Build trust by addressing urgent needs such as food insecurity, health, and housing.
• Assessment and Service Planning: Identify strengths, needs, support, and risk factors while collaboratively creating service goals.
• Service Coordination: Connect families with community resources (e.g., therapy, psychiatry, tutoring, food assistance) and help them navigate complex systems across home, school, court, and medical settings.
• Parenting Skills Development: Equip parents with evidence-based parenting strategies to improve communication and monitor children’s safety.
• Youth Skills Training: Teach essential skills such as self-awareness, empathy, decision-making, and emotional regulation.
• Fostering Independence: Prepare families to handle future crises independently.

Total Project Budget: $1,675,789

Other Funding
