Family Investment

The Family Investment Division Is Doing Business A "New Way"

The growing fracture between society's complex problems and what public agencies can do to help improve their services is the basis for the organizational restructuring occurring within the Family Investment Division this year. By taking a comprehensive assessment of the needs of the "whole" individual or family, the Department is working towards discovering new ways of meeting its objectives and goals.

The collaborative success includes programs to assist customers on issues relating to health care, income support, family social servers, mentoring and remedial aid, day care, the linkage between employment and education, and attendance policies seeking to retain rather than exclude- are in place.

In its on-going effort to provide exceptional service, we vow to work in a comprehensive manner, distribute information, rest the uncertainties, and problems that arise for customers and work towards the discovery of new ways to overcome the barriers facing the residents and communities of Prince George's County, by doing business in a better and new way.

The Family Investment Administration helps families and individuals with temporary assistance and ongoing assistance through the Temporary Cash Assistance program, Food Stamps, Medial Assistance, the Child Care Voucher Program, Emergency Assistance and the TEMHA program. These programs help families and individuals achieve independence through work, personal and family responsibility and community involvement.
