SEAFORD COMMUNITY OF HOPE
A collaborative approach to community wellness
Meaningful community-based solutions, create better futures for children and families
Creating better futures for children and families is not possible unless we understand the unique needs, strengths, and conditions of the community that surround them.
If a community is healthy — if it is safe, supportive and teeming with opportunities — then it will have the elements that children need to thrive. For vulnerable communities, providing early supports before challenges turn into crises, makes all the difference for children and families.
Seaford Community of Hope is a place-based program that engages local communities to meet needs with wraparound services and supports proven to help reduce poverty, improve lives, and keep families together.
A shared responsibility to build hope into a true child and family well-being system
Using the Casey Family Programs model, Seaford Community of Hope brings all of the diverse and relevant voices of a community together - government, business, nonprofit and faith-based, philanthropic, and community members - to establish their own priorities and create their own solutions.
Our Family Resource Centers - led by culturally respectful, trauma-informed staff - serve as vibrant hubs of collaboration, transforming hope into sustainable change that increases protective factors for families and communities, strengthens parent and child resiliency, and ensures all children and families have what they need to thrive.
