HONOLULU (HI Now) - The State of Hawaiʻi Department of Human Services (DHS) Social Services Division (SSD) Child Welfare Services (CWS) Branch is honored to share the Family First Hawai’i (FFH) 2021 Accomplishments.
The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) provides Hawaiʻi the opportunity to leverage federal Title IV-E funding for prevention services with the goal of keeping children safe at home with their families. The Family First Prevention Services Act Plan: Family First Hawaiʻi, Keeping Families Together, was approved by DHS’s federal partner agency, Administration for Children and Families.
Their collective goal is to keep children and families at the center of our practice by weaving in culture and values that our families in Hawaiʻi embrace. To build stronger connections throughout the community, a metaphor/story/moʻolelo was created to share the message of keeping families together.
