Collaborative for Children & Families

The Collaborative for Children and Families, Inc. (CCF) is a 501c3 Non-Profit Membership Coalition comprised of over 20 Community Based Organizations (CBOs) whose primary mission is to serve children and families across the downstate region of NY. CCF is designated as a Lead Health Home Serving Children (HHSC) that includes a provider network of over 40 Care Management Agencies (CMAs) throughout the downstate region. CCF offers comprehensive health and human services to children and families in a more coordinated manner than could be achieved individually and seek partnerships with other components of the health and human services systems to integrate care for those in greatest need. Collectively, CCF serves nearly all the youth in foster care in the greater New York City area and over 60 percent of the children and families receiving preventive care in NYC Child Welfare System. On any given day, our providers serve more than 30,000 children, providing foster care, preventive care, early childhood education, schools and educational programs, behavioral health, school-based mental health, case management, summer camps, after-school programs, and residential treatment.
