Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TO PROVIDE FOSTER CARE, ADOPTION AND MENTORING SERVICES TO ABUSED, NEGLECTED, AND AT-RISK CHILDREN. OUR FOCUSES ARE ADVOCACY, PREVENTION, TREATMENT, REUNIFICATION, PERMANENCY AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE FOSTER CARE, ADOPTION AND MENTORING SERVICES TO ABUSED, NEGLECTED AND AT-RISK CHILDREN.

  • CHILD WELFARE SERVICES: GUIDED BY THE BELIEF THAT EVERY CHILD DESERVES A SAFE, PERMANENT AND LOVING FAMILY WHERE THEY CAN GROW UP TO BE HAPPY AND PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, CHILD SAFE PROVIDES FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION FOR CHILDREN THROUGHOUT SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN. CHILD SAFE ALSO PROVIDES THE RESOURCES, TOOLS AND SUPPORT NECESSARY TO HELP FAMILIES STAY TOGETHER. OUR COUNSELORS AND THERAPISTS GO DIRECTLY INTO THE HOMES OF AT-RISK FAMILIES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT. IF FOSTER CARE BECOMES NECESSARY, WE WORK WITH THE BIOLOGICAL FAMILY TO STRENGTHEN THE FAMILY UNIT AND REDUCE BARRIERS WHICH ARE PREVENTING THE YOUTH FROM LIVING AT HOME. IN ADDITION, WE RECRUIT AND TRAIN FAMILIES TO PROVIDE LOVING AND SUPPORTIVE FOSTER HOMES TO CHILDREN WHO ARE SEPARATED FROM THEIR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS. IF A CHILD CANNOT SAFELY RETURN HOME, WE SEARCH FOR ALTERNATIVE PERMANENT PLACEMENTS THAT WILL ENSURE THE CHILD GROWS UP IN A PERMANENT, SAFE AND LOVING ENVIRONMENT. MENTORING AND OTHER WRAP AROUND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO FURTHER SUPPORT THE CHILDREN IN OUR CARE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
