Family Resource Centers (FRCs) are vital hubs in Nevada, designed to ensure families and individuals can easily access essential services and support. Established in 1995 through legislative action (NRS 430A), these centers operate across 18 designated Service Areas, each defined by residential zip codes. As a key family resource, each FRC provides crucial information, referrals, and personalized case management to local residents.
FRCs play a pivotal role in connecting individuals and families with a broad network of support. They actively collaborate with various local and state agencies and organizations, streamlining access to needed services. Whether you’re seeking guidance on healthcare, education, housing, or other essential family support systems, your local Family Resource Center is designed to assist you.
Staying Updated on Service Area Changes
To ensure you receive support from the correct center, it’s important to be aware of any service area updates. Service area assignments can be adjusted to better serve community needs. For example, recent updates have refined service areas within Las Vegas, ensuring residents are connected with the most appropriate Family Resource Center. To find the most current information for your specific zip code, always refer to the official Family Resource Center directory or contact the relevant coordinating agencies.
Commitment to Policy and Procedure
All Family Resource Centers receiving state funding in Nevada adhere to strict Policies and Procedures. These guidelines, set forth by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Grants Management Unit, ensure consistent and reliable service delivery across all centers. This commitment to standardized practices reinforces the trustworthiness and dependability of FRCs as a community family resource.
