We're glad you're here! The NRFC is a resource of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Office of Family Assistance (OFA). The NRFC VCC brings together service providers, policy makers, counselors, researchers, fathers, practitioners, programs, and leaders who are committed to supporting fathers, strengthening families, and improving outcomes for children across America.
Today, this work is more important than ever. ACF has embraced the principle that the best social program is a family, and as service providers, policy makers, counselors, researchers, fathers, practitioners and more, you're at the heart of making that principle a reality. Whether you're helping fathers find meaningful work, supporting healthy relationships, or preventing family crises before they happen, your efforts directly advance ACF's new A Home for Every Child initiative and help ensure that children grow up in stable, loving homes rather than entering foster care.
Aligned with ACF's Mission
When you help families become more engaged with their children, support their path to employment, or strengthen their relationships, you're advancing ACF's vision for children, youth, families, and communities who are resilient, safe, healthy, and economically secure.
