Our mission is to keep families together.
We provide families in crisis with free legal assistance and social work services to enable children to stay with their families safely. CFR works to keep children out of foster care entirely or keep their time in care to a minimum.

Every year, CFR serves more than 3,000 families in New York City.
We work in the courtroom and in the community to keep families together
and prevent children from entering foster care. Learn more here!
