What Committee For Hispanic Children and Families does

The Committee for Hispanic Children and Families (CHCF) is a New York City-based nonprofit founded in 1982 that provides direct services and policy advocacy for Hispanic and Latino children, youth, and families, with primary concentration in the Bronx. Its programmatic portfolio spans an Early Care and Education Institute, Youth Development (including After School, Community Schools, and an Opportunity for Youth Development/OD program), a Family Child Care Network, Policy and Advocacy, Community Empowerment, and Social Services, delivered via schools, community centers, and home-based providers. The organization reports serving more than 65,000 people annually, including 16,000 children, and notes a 100% graduation rate in its ODF program, with a bilingual and bicultural staff model central to its service approach.

CHCF operates free services funded through a mix of federal, state, and city government contracts and philanthropic grants. Public-sector funding sources include Early Head Start, the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD, including SONYC after-school programming), the New York State Assembly, and the New York City Council. Philanthropic and corporate support includes MacKenzie Scott (an undisclosed major gift in 2023), Robin Hood, Microsoft, Citi, CBRE, the Charles Hayden Foundation, Empire BlueCross BlueShield, H&R Block, Unilever, and Scholastic, alongside individual elected officials such as NYS Assembly Member Yudelka Tapia ($200,000 grants in 2024 and 2025). The organization is headquartered at 75 Broad Street in Manhattan and has expanded its Bronx footprint with a Morris Avenue office opened in June 2022 and a new Castle Hill building opened in June 2026.

CHCF's positioning combines on-the-ground human services delivery with policy advocacy, including recognition as a UNIDOS Northeast Regional Affiliate of the Year (2023), a NYS Standards of Excellence Certification (2015), and partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau. Distribution partnerships extend reach through media (CBS News, ABC 7 Tiempo, Univision) and cultural institutions (Ballet Hispánico), and a 2023 partnership with Housing Works extended services to newly arrived asylum-seeking families. Under the leadership of President and CEO Ramon Peguero (appointed 2022), the organization is in a multi-year expansion phase centered on the Bronx, with diversified funding but a continued dependence on government contracts and political grants.
