Center For Family Services

What Center For Family Services does

Center For Family Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization founded in 1920 and headquartered in Camden, New Jersey, that operates a comprehensive continuum of care across more than 100 locations spanning at least 11 New Jersey counties. The organization serves more than 48,000 individuals and families annually through eight integrated service areas: Addiction and Recovery, Community Connections, Counseling and Behavioral Health, Early Childhood Education (Mosaic Early Learning), Family Support and Prevention, Safe and Supportive Housing, Trauma and Victim Response, and Workforce Development. Branded sub-programs include Living Proof Recovery Centers (peer-led recovery support), SERV (Services Empowering Rights of Victims for domestic/sexual violence and human trafficking survivors), and the Trauma Recovery Center.

Service delivery combines physical locations (counseling offices, family success centers, recovery centers, early learning centers, and housing facilities) with a TeleHealth platform for virtual counseling and psychiatric services statewide, plus home- and community-based programs in schools and residential settings. The organization employs more than 1,600 staff including licensed clinical social workers, AmeriCorps members, and culturally competent multilingual practitioners, with a centralized Access Center (877.922.2377) for intake and referral.

The revenue model is contract- and donation-dependent: services are provided at no cost to clients and funded through federal contracts (U.S. Departments of Education, HHS, HUD, Justice), New Jersey state contracts (DCF, DHS, Community Affairs), county government contracts (Camden, Gloucester), private foundation grants (United Way, Healthcare Foundation of NJ, Horizon, Subaru, Bank of America, TD Bank, Cooper Foundation), corporate sponsorships, and individual donations at tiers ranging from $25 to $20,000+ Leadership Circle contributions. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer delivery across New Jersey combined with event-driven community outreach (golf tournaments, donation drives, awareness campaigns) and referral partnerships with schools, hospitals, and government agencies.
