The Public Assistance program is not affected at this time. For more information, visit: otda.ny.gov/shutdown-resources

Strengthening Families Through Stronger Fathers 2009-2010

Appropriation Level: $2,764,000

The NYS Strengthening Families Through Stronger Fathers Program is aimed at promoting responsible fatherhood. By identifying and addressing the needs of noncustodial fathers, such as employment, job readiness, job placement, arrears management, community reintegration services and parenting education, we can begin to equip fathers with the tools they need to overcome the barriers that prevent them from being involved in the lives of their children. SFTSF supports eight (8) responsible fatherhood programs throughout the state;

  • Northeast Parent and Child Society (Schenectady)
  • Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County (Jamestown)
  • Occupations, Inc. (Middletown)
  • STRIVE/East Harlem Employment Services, Inc. (NYC)
  • Seedco (NYC)
  • Syracuse Housing Authority (Syracuse)
  • Catholic Family Center (Rochester)
  • EAC, Inc. (Hempstead)
