Mission: To provide community members
with
opportunities, support, and services that honor culture, gender, and
diversity, and that promote health, stability, resiliency, and
self-sufficiency for children, individuals, families and communities.
Overview: The Community and Family Service Centers
(CFSC) provide community-based services for individuals, children, and families
in Multnomah County. The CFSC system is organized into six geographic
areas to promote service delivery and coordination at the neighborhood
level. Culturally-specific services are available
countywide, including a
center for the Asian/Pacific Islander population, services for the Hispanic
community, and Native American services.
Each geographic area has a site that is considered its "hub" for service
access. The hubs operate 50 hours per week, including some evening hours,
and provide reception, phone, and program services.
The centers emphasize a strengths-based approach to promote resiliency
and self-sufficiency, leading to strong families and healthy communities
throughout the county.
