The program’s goal is to stabilize the child within the family setting and enhance the likelihood of having the child remain in the home.
In-Home Case Management Services—Under a contract with the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS), JFS provides in-home assistance to families that are in danger of having children removed from the home. This provides a case manager to assess the needs of the family in the home setting. Based on the findings, services are provided including case management to link the families to needed benefits and services as well as parent education and assistance in developing home management skills.
