Child Welfare Services
Association House Child Welfare Services serves Chicago children and families referred by Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, and is the only agency in Humboldt Park that provides placement services for Spanish speaking children with Spanish speaking families. Key focus areas include prevention, intervention, and finding loving homes for children through guardianship or adoption.
Licensed and credentialed staff make up a strong professional Child Welfare team who serve children and families with compassion and care. These professionals work diligently with families to keep children in their own homes whenever possible.
