Family Preservation Program
ESS’ Family Preservation Program works with 105 families each year in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx. Our goal is to avert foster care placement for 200-300 children and teens, and we also help with children’s transitions from foster care back to family caretakers. Our number one priority is to ensure the safety of all children in the household by addressing risk factors before the home environment tips toward child abuse or neglect.
ESS is proud of our 97% success rate in keeping families intact, achieved by dedicated work in support of stabilizing home environments and strengthening family relationships.
