For twenty-five (25) years, Far Southeast Family Strengthening Collaborative (FSFSC) has worked to strengthen children and families' lives across Ward 8 Washington DC. Our community-driven approach allows us to coordinate alongside residents to address immediate needs while tackling the systemic causes of poverty, violence, and inequitable resource distribution. By developing impactful partnerships and the cultivation of critical resources and assets, we have worked to promote optimal economic, civic, and social well-being for thousands of children and families.
