Family Resource Center Association

Providing public advocacy, capacity building, and resource development to strengthen its statewide network of Family Resource Centers (FRCs), the Family Resource Center Association’s (FRCA) vision is for a Colorado in which every family is thriving and self-sufficient. Since 1998, FRCA has worked to improve systems, capacity, and outcomes for family support and Colorado FRCs. Today, over 56,000 people each year are provided with a safe, accessible place to connect with comprehensive, coordinated services in their local communities, through FRCA’s collaborative network of Family Resource Center members. FRCA and their member centers have improved local family support service delivery systems that increase family self-sufficiency outcomes for more than 20 years. Through the creation of a common agenda, practices, training and shared goals, FRCs are becoming leaders in the Human Services field in Colorado. FRCs have over 20 years of experience in services, resources and referrals for family strengthening in Colorado, primarily providing comprehensive, wrap-around services. One lesson learned in those 20 years is that when you provide families with a primary point of entry for multiple resources, you significantly increase their chances for success in reaching their goals for economic, social, health and financial stability. True change can occur for families and in our communities.
