Communities for People is a special group professionals who dedicate themselves to helping youth in need. We specialize in residential programs, réseaux de soins gérés, adoption and foster care.
Communities for People (CFP) was founded in 1976 to respond to the needs of troubled youth in Massachusetts. CFP pioneered community-based residential programs after recognizing youth would benefit more from living in the community rather than in institutions. Four years later CFP began providing services in Rhode Island. Dans 1993, CFP merged with Integrated Foster Care. Dans 1997 CFP also merged with Special Adoption Family Services. These two mergers allowed CFP to provide a comprehensive continuum of services.
CFP collaborated with The Providence Center to create Placement Solutions, an organization that reviews and manages the services for the Rhode Island Department of Children, Jeunesse, et familles (DCYF). Dans 2010 Placement Solutions became independent of The Providence Center.
In more recent years, CFP joined a network of agencies, called The Care Management Network, working together to provide a full scope of services to RI youth and families.
