About Us

MISSION
The mission of East River Family Strengthening Collaborative, Inc (ERFSC) is to empower families, youth, seniors and communities to become more self-sufficient through integrated and collaborative community based services. 

We do this by collaborating with community residents and organizations (public and private) to:

• reduce the number of children from entering the child welfare system of care
• increase supports to families
• provide services to prevent homelessness
• increase financial self sufficiency
• decrease youth violence 

We also collaborate with community residents and organizations to improve the quality of life for Ward 7’s residents.

VISION
The Ward 7 community will be equipped with the tools and skills to dramatically increase self-sufficiency and family stabilization through nationally recognized best practices developed by ERFSC and our partners.
