We believe that the family more than any other institution shapes the personality and character of every person. We believe that the nature of life in society is, in a large part, determined by the quality of family life. We are committed to assisting individuals and family units to improve their functioning at home, at work and in the community. As an organization, we meet this philosophy by providing four distinct programming areas: Home Services, Immigrant Services, COE (counseling, outreach, education), and our Dacapo program (people with developmental disabilities). Programs include home care, settlement, interpretation, employment, counseling, education, culture, and recreation opportunities for our clients.
