Company History
Family and Children’s Association resulted from the January 1998 merger of two of Long Island’s venerable and most respected social service agencies – Family Service Association, which was founded in 1958 to strengthen and assist families throughout Nassau County who were experiencing social, emotional and financial problems, and Children’s House, which was founded as an orphanage in 1884 and evolved into a network of programs on Long Island to help children and their families help themselves when crises strike. Today, Family and Children’s Association is one of the largest secular human service agencies on Long Island, and its programs provide an integrated “continuum of care” for those in need.
