Community Partnerships

Community Partnerships are a network for providers, community leaders, and residents to share resources and information, address community needs, design and promote strategies to reduce the potential need for child welfare involvement and empower Community Engagement & Partnerships communities to thrive.


ACS Community Partnerships

Since 2007, ACS has facilitated neighborhood planning coalitions that bring together community leaders, residents, and service providers. These eleven Community Partnerships work collaboratively to share resources, expand family access to vital information, increase access to supportive services that promote family and community well-being, while striving to reduce unnecessary reports. As centralized hubs, they streamline planning strategies, offer local advice to ACS and engage diverse stakeholders - including government agencies, faith-based organizations, and local leaders - to improve child and family well-being.

Serving as a central point of contact to community providers and families, Community Partnerships help to ensure that the community is connected to information and resources offered by the organizations who are members of the Community Partnership. They also help to advocate for and with families to ensure that they receive support in making sense of hard-to-understand or hard-to-secure resources in their neighborhood or from the City. Participation is completely voluntary, and no personal information is required to attend, nor is case management offered.
