Our Operating Partner

It is the mission of Community Based Care of Central Florida that all families in Central Florida are able to safely care for their children by engaging, protecting and inspiring every child, every day. CBC of Central Florida accomplishes this mission by developing and managing a comprehensive, coordinated, community-based system of care for abused, neglected and abandoned children and their families.

CBC of Central Florida has been committed to serving the children and families of Central Florida who have been victims of, or at risk of, abuse, neglect or abandonment since 2004. It is a non-profit agency charged with developing community-based services and supports for children and families served by the child welfare system in Central Florida. A core value is the belief that all children have the inalienable right to grow up safe, healthy and fulfilled in families that love and nurture them. 

Florida's child welfare initiative transfers public child welfare services to the private sector. In response to this initiative, a group of local providers came together to develop a community-based "lead agency" that combines compassion and innovation with flexibility. The result is CBC of Central Florida. Its ongoing goal includes providing the necessary services to the more than 700 children it serves by strengthening the relationships between families, foster parents, case management team and network of local service providers who deliver a multitude of direct services to children.
