Our Vision

Powerful Families, Powerful Communities NJ is a community-public-private partnership, designed to accelerate collaboration, strengthen community-based support networks for families, and ensure a responsive and equitable child and family well-being system for New Jersey.

Our goals are for every child to grow up safely with their family, for families and communities to share and hold power to design their own futures, and to support families in ways that positively impact their lives.

Realizing Our Vision

Powerful Families, Powerful Communities NJ brings together a cross-section of stakeholders from communities, government, and other partners to guide the work. We have developed an intentional approach, focused on creating new accountability structures and new ways of delivering services through co-design. We will create tangible and implementable solutions that lead to better outcomes for children and families and aim to create the conditions for a new way of working that directly shifts power in planning and decision-making around community-based supports and services to community members.
