Family and Support Services
The Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) supports a continuum of coordinated services to enhance the lives of Chicago residents, particularly those most in need, from birth through the senior years. DFSS provides families with the resources they need to create a strong developmental and educational foundation for children as well as offers youth, opportunities to learn and explore their talents outside of the classroom and through job training.
DFSS offers direct services and referrals for specialized assistance to residents and families in need through its six Community Service Centers. The DFSS Division on Domestic Violence is dedicated to promoting a coordinated multi-system response to domestic violence in Chicago. And the department’s Senior Services Area Agency on Aging administers a variety of informational and recreational programs through our Regional and Satellite Senior Centers, designed to address the diverse needs and interests of older Chicagoans, from those who are healthy and active, to those who are frail and homebound.
