Coalition For Hispanic Family Services

What Coalition For Hispanic Family Services does

Coalition for Hispanic Family Services (CHFS) is a 501(c)(3) community-based nonprofit founded in 1990 and headquartered at 315 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. Itself describes as New York City's only Latino foster care and family services agency, the organization delivers a comprehensive, strength-based service portfolio organized across three program categories: Family + Community (Enhanced Family Foster Care, Family Support, Family Treatment and Rehabilitation, Bushwick Family Enrichment Center, School-Based Early Support, Los Caminos – Fair Futures), Mental Health + Well Being (Health Services, Bonding Links Behavioral Health Center for Children & Families, Children's Community Residence, Child & Family Treatment Support Services), and Youth Development + Child Care (Arts & Literacy, Beacon Center for Arts & Leadership, Community Schools, Cornerstone Community Centers). All client-facing services are provided free of charge to community members. CHFS's core technology stack is not applicable; operational delivery rests on direct human service delivery, case management, and licensed clinical practice by bilingual staff.

CHFS reaches its target population — primarily Latino and other low-income families in North Brooklyn (Bushwick, Williamsburg) and adjacent Queens (East Elmhurst) — through a distribution model that embeds the organization inside the public infrastructure that already serves those communities. The organization operates two Cornerstone Community Centers inside NYCHA housing developments (Cooper Park in Bushwick and Hope Gardens in Williamsburg) and is a partner in NYC Public Schools' Community Schools program, placing dedicated Community School Directors (Tanya Torres at Pan American International High School and Bethzabe Martinez at JHS 291 Roland B. Hayes) on site. It is incorporated in New York, is governed by an independent board, has no parent or PE/VC ownership, and operates with a headcount of 51–100. Revenue is derived from city, state, and federal government contracts, Medicaid-billable behavioral health services, philanthropic donations (with a Donate pathway on the primary website), and likely private foundation grants; the 2022 IRS Form 990 is referenced but not parsed in available data.
