Community Response Central Navigation | Families 1st Partnership

Connects youth and families with resources and support.  Navigators have the ability to “fill gaps”, either through helping agencies partner around a common goal, or through flexible funding for needs such as rent, utilities, transportation, and more. 

Limited funding sometimes available for vehicle repair, minor home repairs and dental work.
 
Community Response is designed to reduce unnecessary involvement of child welfare and juvenile justice while increasing the informal and community supports for youth and families.  By utilizing Central Navigation, the goal is to coordinate existing resources and match participants with a resource to either solve an immediate need or develop a longer-term coaching relationship.
