Columbia Heights/Shaw Family Support Collaborative

Founded in 1996, the Columbia Heights/Shaw Family Support Collaborative (CH/SFSC) is a community-based anchor institution. Although CH/SFSC has historically focused on services to its namesake communities — the Columbia Heights and Shaw neighborhoods of Ward 1 of Washington, D.C. — in recent years they have expanded to meet identified needs throughout the rest of Ward 1, as well as in Wards 2 and 4. They also provide technical assistance and training to community local and national nonprofit organizations. Their Mission is to support families in their efforts to stay connected and strong — through family services, community capacity-building and advocacy efforts. They provide direct services to families and help build the capacity of the target communities of Columbia Heights and Shaw, as well as other neighborhoods across Washington, D.C. Direct services are bilingual (Spanish/English) and include:
Family support services; Workforce development; Youth violence prevention and intervention.
