Bringing Families Home (BFH)
Bringing Families Home (BFH) is a state-funded program that focuses on housing families with children under the age of 18 who are involved with the child welfare system. The goal is to remove housing as a barrier for parents and families working towards reuniting with their children after a lapse in custody.
