General Summary
The Greater Washington Urban League is offering The Black Fatherhood Blueprint Program in partnership with the United Way of the National Capital Area (United Way NCA). This program will provide guidance and support for fathers and their families. Fathers will be supported in the areas of health, relationships, and economic mobility. The program will help Black Fathers in Washington, DC to improve overall wellness, economic well-being, and reduce child support arrears for hundreds of families in the District of Columbia, now and in future generations. After a four-month ramp-up phase, the program will serve 150 families over a 2-year period.
The fathers will receive ongoing guidance and resources, to support their healing, build their network of support, increase their parenting knowledge, and improve their overall well-being, while also fulfilling their duty to provide financial resources for their child. The program will provide healing circles, financial therapy, workforce development training, parenting education, mental and physical health resources, legal support, housing navigation, emergency financial assistance, peer support groups, individual and family therapy, and more. It will serve as a place for fathers to build stronger familial bonds, regain their financial footing, catch up on child support arrears, and develop their own social and emotional well-being and that of their families.
