WHEREAS, the Children's Home Society of Florida, CHSFL, first
opened its doors on November 17, 1902, as an orphanage, to provide a
safe home to the growing population of abandoned and homeless children
in Jacksonville, thus solving a societal challenge; and
WHEREAS, CHSFL has launched its new Space Coast
Transformation Network Team, charged with promoting local awareness,
support and understanding that is needed to keep the local Space Coast
Region strong; and
WHEREAS, CHSFL Space Coast Region is working to end foster
care as we know it by keeping more families safe and strong by building
bridges to success that will allow those suffering poverty and related
struggles to reach their full potential; and
WHEREAS, along Florida's Space Coast, CHSFL strives to achieve
these goals through Early Head Start for infants through three-year-olds;
targeted case management for those struggling with mental health
challenges; family and individual counseling and a model program at
Endeavour Elementary Community Partnership School, Cocoa, that is the
first of its kind in the U.S.
NOW, THERFORE, the City of Cape Canaveral, in conjunction
with April 2019 being National Child Abuse Prevention Month, does
hereby recognize
CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA
and its Space Coast Region for building bridges to success for children
and their families, so that they may realize their full potential and, thereby
improve the future of our community, its economy and workforce.
