This site is part of Connecting Families to Economic Supports, a partnership between the NYC Administration for Children’s Services, the NYC Department of Social Services, the Public Policy Lab, and Chapin Hall. It is a multi-year collaborative initiative to develop a citywide structure to support the economic stability and upward mobility of families and young people in—or at-risk of entering—the child welfare and youth justice systems.
