MSW Supervisor - Homemaker Program

The Brooklyn Bureau, which presently serves more than 10,000 individuals annually, is committed to a broad and diverse range of services including prevention of foster care placement; crisis intervention; early childhood and after school education; and vocational training, job placement, and clinical services to adults with physical and developmental disabilities, and histories of mental illness.

 

Our Family Preservation programs stabilize families and prevent the unnecessary or inappropriate placement of children into foster care. Each year, more than 100 Brooklyn families and 300 children at risk of foster care placement receive support from our certified homemakers, who teach parents how to manage their households and their budgets, while helping them learn crucial parenting skills.  For seriously ill parents, homemakers take on household tasks so that parents can spend quality time with their children.  Our Homemaker Program provides the support and skills that beleaguered parents need to keep their families together.
