Thank you for participating in Jeans Day!

Center for Family Representation (CFR) was founded in 2002 to provide free legal and social work services to low-income families whose children were at risk of foster care. Our mission is to keep families safely together by addressing the underlying causes of family instability.

CFR’s primary goals are to keep children out of foster care, or shorten their time in care, to avoid the devastating consequences of separating children from their families. At no cost to the family, we assign every parent an interdisciplinary “family defense” team comprised of an attorney, a social worker, and a parent advocate.

Your donation provides legal and social work services to vulnerable families so that they can stay together safely and permanently. Thank you for your generosity.

The COVID-19 crisis affects us all. As always, the Center for Family Representation (CFR) is working to keep families together. Our attorneys, social workers, and parent advocates continue to support families whose children are at risk of foster care or incarceration in Manhattan and Queens. Most courts are now using phone or video for hearings. You can reach CFR staff by email, text, or phone. If you are a CFR client, please call 212-691-0950 if you cannot reach your defense team or if you have a question about your case. Español
