Pathways to Safety  is an early intervention and prevention initiative designed to keep children safe at home and out of the child welfare system. It is a community-based response to the first signs of family problems that might endanger children.

Pathways to Safety provides a systematic way to engage families to help them identify and access the specific services they need, while providing them with personal guidance and support to stabilize their lives.

Wraparound VideoWraparound serves families with children referred through child welfare, behavioral health, and probation who are at immediate risk of out-of-home placement.  Wraparound is an organized planning process through which families receive individualized services and supports necessary to keep families together and out of institutional placements.

The FRC Network consists of representatives from each of the family resource centers in the county, as well as other agencies such as adult schools that provide a wide array of services to families in their community. In addition, there are network members from community based organizations and public agencies who are interested in supporting and developing the capacity of family resource centers.  This network supports family resource centers by providing a facilitated forum for sharing information and identifying broader community needs, and providing a framework for coordinated action to support the evolving needs of families.

The Ingram Housing Fund (IHF) provides eligible Marina California residents with down payment assistance in the form of low interest, deferred payment loans for the purchase of homes in Marina. Interested parties may apply for loans from the Ingram Housing Fund concurrent with or prior to contracting to purchase a home within Marina City limits.
