The Program prevents children from entering the foster care system by providing individualized, front-end services and housing that provide critical support to vulnerable single mothers and their children. This grant expanded the Residential Program to launch a new Boca Raton campus to serve 6 additional families. Residents are CityHouse Residential building independence, securing childcare, completing job readiness programs, enrolling in trade certification programs, and focusing on their behavioral health. Delays in construction permitting resulted in only 4 apartments being available initially, so the project was extended to allow for 6 families to enter the program and graduate.

Project FACT: Fathers and Children Together BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB JUNE 2021 - JUNE 2023 Through Project Fact, BGCPBC is working with estranged fathers and their children to improve co-parenting skills. Children of single parent, female-headed low-income households generally experience greater life adversity, exhibit more behavioral problems and often poorer academic achievement. Project FACT mobilizes fathers and father figures to become engaged in their children’s lives via annual and monthly community-based events with the 24/7 Dad program. In addition, weekly evidenced based Passport to Manhood sessions bring boys and young men together with fathers or father figures, preparing them for the responsibilities of manhood.
