Children in DC Foster Care
Families Served by FAPAC Each Year
Our Mission
Empower and advocate for families and youth involved in the child welfare system to promote the long-term stability of families in the nation’s capital.
Vision
Every child in the nation’s capital is safe, supported, and nurtured by their birth, kinship, foster, or adoptive family, and every family is being empowered to uphold the well-being and dignity of the children in their care.
PROGRAMS
We have been foster and adoptive parents in D.C. for several years, and have always found the information and services offered by FAPAC to be helpful. Recently, we also reached out to FAPAC with a specific advocacy request to help our child continue receiving services when CFSA switched service providers. Their staff helped us interface with CFSA and another DC government agency to get things moving, and we were able to apply for additional resources to ensure that our child could continue receiving services. We are grateful for FAPAC’s support and assistance.DC Foster Parent, NK
