A newly published, peer-reviewed study in Family Justice Journal demonstrates that a rural Family Resource Center delivered a 292% return on investment to its local child welfare system. Commissioned by the National Family Support Network and conducted by OMNI Institute and Casey Family Programs, the study confirms what many in our field already know: Family Resource Centers not only strengthen families—they also reduce public system costs. The research highlights how comprehensive, community-based supports can decrease child maltreatment and generate significant savings for county-based systems. By using a strengths-based, family-centered approach, the FRC in this study helped families meet basic needs, build protective factors, and reduce involvement with child welfare.
