Family and Community Service of Delaware County

Family and Community Service of Delaware County (FCSDC) has proudly served the residents of the county for over 100 years! 

Our mission is to build stronger communities through healthy, empowered individuals and families. To that end we strive to meet the basic needs of those most vulnerable. Our programs address homelessness, housing-insecurity, mental health, and medical care access.

For Delco Gives, FCSDC is placing special focus on our housing programs. Many individuals and families in our community face the impossible choice between paying rent and meeting other basic needs, often resulting in short-term or chronic homelessness. At FCSDC, our transitional and permanent housing programs provide more than shelter - they offer stability, dignity, and hope to individuals and families as they move from homelessness to housing.

Last year, FCSDC’s housing programs supported meaningful change:

• Our Family Transitional Housing program helped
  22 families (31 adults and 45 children) move from homeless shelters to independent housing. These families will receive up to two years of rent assistance.

• Through our Ralph Moses House Transitional program, 27 men moved from shelters into their own apartments and also will receive up to two years of rent assistance while increasing their incomes through education and employment.

• Our two Permanent Supportive Housing programs serve individuals and families who have experienced chronic homelessness due to mental health challenges and other disabilities. These two programs currently provide 25 households (30 adults and 6 children) with ongoing rent subsidies.

• All FCSDC housing participants receive ongoing case management support, ensuring they have resources for long-term stability.

When you give to FCSDC's housing programs, you're not just helping to put a roof over someone's head - you're creating a foundation for transformation. Your generosity today becomes the key that unlocks a better tomorrow for those we serve.

Please consider making a gift that will help us continue this vital work in the Delco community.
