The Family Resource Center Network is a partnership of nine Solano Family Resource Centers located in each city in the county, supported by the Children’s Network. The Family Resource Center Network was created in 1995 through public funds planned for by the Solano Children’s Alliance.

What are Family Resource Centers?

Family Resource Centers (FRCs) are neighborhood-based agencies that provide services to support families and strengthen communities. FRCs view families as important advocates for children and local communities and work with families in a spirit of mutual respect, modeled upon the Principles of Family Support Practice.

FRC Services

Solano’s FRCs provide a local space for families to get information, learn about available services, meet other families and get involved in community activities. Solano’s FRCs are open to all families, regardless of income.
 

Services include:

• Information and Referral services

• Parent education classes, life skills workshops or support groups

• Family-friendly activities, community events and resource fairs

• Computer/internet access for job search, resume assistance

• Linkages to health and social service programs

• In-home visitation services for families with children ages 0-5

• Resource libraries of adult and children’s books and videos

• Volunteer/community service programs

While all Solano FRCs provide these core services, each FRC is unique to the community it serves, offering additional services ranging from mentoring programs to food pantries.
