The Connection Resource Center will offer comprehensive information and referral services to families engaged in our afterschool programs and Beacon Community Centers located in Briarwood, Woodhaven, Jamaica, and Ozone Park through targeted outreach, referrals for families, and Family Support Services for those in need of case management.
The Connection Resource Center aligns with our integrated service model, which addresses interconnected needs, supports democracy, and builds connections between neighbors and needed resources in their community. QCH’s Family Support Services has a strong history of holistic and strengths-based case management.
The Connection Resource Center will support families holistically, addressing their immediate needs and connecting them to long-term solutions. Family Support Coordinators will support households dealing with multiple pain points, including housing instability, food insecurity, and benefits needs.
We are very excited for the opportunity to bring additional services to Woodhaven and Briarwood and further serve families in Queens neighborhoods that can often be neglected. We also look forward to a year of great outreach events in the community that will be engaging for families and staff of the Connection Resource Center-alike!
