Center For Urban Families

The Center for Urban Families (CFUF) is an independent 501(c)3 organization located in Baltimore, MD. CFUF specializes in servicing the needs of Baltimore’s most hard-to-reach populations, including the formerly incarcerated, those with a prior history of substance abuse, and low-income, non-custodial fathers. Since 1999, we've maintained an unwavering focus on addressing the key challenges of Baltimore’s urban families by working to connect fathers to their children, creating opportunities for economic and financial security through work, and providing access to other key interventions and supportive services. Our core mission is to strengthen urban communities by helping fathers and families achieve stability and economic success. Our unique service model, Family Stability and Economic Success (FSES)™, is an integrated and comprehensive approach to addressing the needs of our target population. FSES brings together use of streamlined accountability systems, co-located and bundled resources and partnerships, and an intensive system of family strengthening and economic stability-focused wrap-around services and interventions, to address the needs of low-income families and workers in a holistic and effective manner. Our core initiatives include: - The Baltimore Responsible Fatherhood Project (BRFP) - STRIVE Baltimore - Career Path - Alumni Services - The Practitioner's Leadership Institute (PLI)
