The Florida Network of Youth and Family Services, Inc. (the Florida Network) is a nonprofit statewide association representing 26 member organizations that serve homeless, runaway and troubled youth ages six and older and their families.
The Florida Network of Youth and Family Services (Florida Network) is a nonprofit association representing 26 member organizations across Florida. For almost 50 years, the Florida Network has provided prevention and early intervention services as a “Children’s and Families in Need of Services” agency, as defined by Florida Statute, in order to prevent juvenile delinquency and encourage good choices and healthy family relationships throughout all 67counties, 24/7, 365 days a year, including the most at-risk and disadvantaged communities, with the goal of preventing crises from becoming catastrophes.
The Network screens over 20,000 cases per year, admitting 13,000 youth annually, and serves youth between the ages of six and 17, with the average age of a CINS/FINS (Children and Families in Need of Services) program youth at 13 and the SNAP (Stop Now And Plan) program youth at nine years of age.
Not only does the Florida Network work, but its cost savings is also a solid investment for Floridians, saving nearly $410 million in services, an ROI of $9.19 for every $1 invested, with 91%of dollars spent on direct services. And our outcomes? Youth are returned home or placed appropriately at a rate of 99% and remained crime free for 12 months via a shelter setting (89%), community counseling (98%) or our SNAP program (100%).
