Community Partnership Initiative

Soundview

Soundview is a community rich in diversity. The mission of the Soundview coalition is to promote the permanency and well-being of children and families. To support the families in Soundview, this CPI works with community leaders, service providers, and the Administration for Children’s Services. Goals include actively recruiting new families for children in care and supporting family conferences designed to promote greater parent involvement.

Through this network, children and families of our community can thrive and feel safe. It is important to empower families by giving them a greater voice in how their community is developed.

Our Goals:

• Connecting Child Care/Head Start to Preventive Services

Soundview Community Coalition strives to increase awareness and coordinate a service system that will improve service deliveries to families, especially those receiving joint services.

• Foster Care Recruitment

The Soundview Community Coalition is currently actively recruiting new families for children in care. It is important to ensure that Soundview’s children find a safe home within our community.

• Family Conferences

Family conferences are designed to promote greater parent involvement in making decisions about the needs, services, and safety plans appropriate to their particular family circumstances.

• Visitation

Soundview Community Coalition allows visitations of children and parents to be conducted in the community. There are many family-friendly locations within the Soundview community for families to connect and engage in safe, productive activities.
