Parents And Children Together

What Parents And Children Together does

Parents And Children Together (PACT) is a Hawaii-based, statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization founded in 1968 (as the Parent Child Center of Kalihi) and headquartered in Honolulu, employing more than 400 staff across Oahu, Hawaii Island, Maui, Lanai, and Kauai. It serves over 15,000 parents, children, individuals, and families annually through five core service areas: Early Childhood Education (Early Head Start and Head Start), Domestic Violence Prevention and Intervention (three shelters plus Family Peace and Visitation Centers), Early Intervention and Family Strengthening (home visiting, counseling, case management), Behavioral Health Support (Multisystemic Therapy, Functional Family Therapy), and Community Building and Economic Opportunities (TRY Youth Centers, Ohana Food Distribution, Economic Opportunity Centers, immigrant resource services).

PACT's service portfolio includes 50+ programs operated through a case-management-heavy delivery model with evidence-based therapeutic frameworks, a Client Care Portal for client access, and integrations with Hawaii Data Collaborative for cross-program data utilization. In February 2024, PACT incorporated PATCH (People Attentive to Children) as a wholly owned subsidiary to extend its early childhood footprint into child care subsidies, training, and family child care entrepreneurship. The organization partners with Child Welfare Services, Hawaii Department of Health, Hawaii State Judiciary, Hawaii Department of Education, and public housing complexes (Kuhio Park Terrace, Puuwai Momi) for referrals and funding.

PACT's revenue model is overwhelmingly institutional: federal Head Start/Early Head Start grants, state contracts from Hawaii Department of Health, Department of Human Services, and the Judiciary, and City and County of Honolulu contracts form the core operating base. This is supplemented by individual/corporate/foundation donations, an active capital campaign for a permanent headquarters at the Kalaulanilawapuni estate, and ancillary programs with sliding-scale fees. Most services are free to income-eligible families with no denial based on inability to pay, which is structurally consistent with its social services mission.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Child & Family Service: Hawaii-based nonprofit delivering child and family counseling, domestic violence services, early childhood mental health, and social services statewide. Directly comparable to PACT in service portfolio, scale, and Hawaii geography, making it PACT's closest peer competitor for state family-services contracts.
• Catholic Charities Hawaii: Multi-service Hawaii nonprofit providing early childhood education (including Head Start), immigration services, senior programs, refugee resettlement, and behavioral health. Directly comparable to PACT in scope, government funding reliance, and statewide Hawaii delivery, competing for similar state and federal contracts.
• Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence: Statewide coalition funding and coordinating domestic violence prevention and intervention services in Hawaii. Both organizations jointly receive and deploy state funding for DV services, making the coalition a peer in the DV funding ecosystem that PACT depends on.
• YWCA Hawaii: Provides domestic violence shelters, sexual assault services, housing, and advocacy across Hawaii. Directly comparable to PACT's Family Peace Centers and shelter operations (Ohia, Lehua, Hale Ola), often partnering through the Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Regional players

• Institute for Native Hawaiian Education: Hawaii nonprofit focused on Native Hawaiian education and family strengthening, operating in similar Kalihi and broader Native Hawaiian communities PACT serves. Regionally comparable in target population but with a narrower education/outreach mandate than PACT's full social-services portfolio.
• Kokua Kalihi Valley: Kalihi-based community health and social services nonprofit offering primary care, behavioral health, and community programs in the same neighborhood as PACT's headquarters. Operates as a co-located collaborator (WE Are Kalihi coalition) but also competes for some community-development funding in the same geography.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of Hawaii: Statewide youth development nonprofit operating after-school and teen programs on multiple Hawaiian islands. Comparable to PACT's TRY Centers and youth-serving lines in target population and Hawaii footprint, but focused on youth development versus PACT's full family-service continuum.

Broad incumbents

• Hawaii Pacific Health: Hawaii's largest nonprofit health system, providing clinical and behavioral health services with overlapping community-health and behavioral health programs. Broader and more health-care-focused than PACT but provides benchmark scale for Hawaii nonprofit operations and potential downstream referral partner for PACT's behavioral health programs.
• Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Division: Large multi-service nonprofit operating across Hawaii and Pacific Islands with social services, food distribution, housing, and emergency assistance. Comparable at the program-by-program level, but its portfolio is much broader and not focused on the same early-childhood and DV-residential niche PACT serves.

Others

• Aloha United Way: Hawaii's primary United Way affiliate, partnering agency to PACT and channeling workplace giving funds to Hawaii nonprofits. Not a direct service provider peer, but a key funding intermediary whose allocations directly affect PACT's flexible donation revenue.
