Safe Families for Children

Rock County Child Protective Services places an average of 200 children into foster care every year. Safe Families for Children (SFFC) Wisconsin is committed to reducing this number by empowering families in crisis through community and faith-based support.

In contrast to court-mandated foster care, SFFC is completely voluntary. It pairs families in crisis with community members to prevent child maltreatment, circumvent welfare placements and provide wrap-around family support.

At the conclusion of its Beloit initiative, Acts will have supported at least 150 families, increased ownership in the Merrill and Hackett neighborhoods and built a sustainable, viable, affordable homeownership market in Beloit for families with limited incomes.
