In operation since 1986, the San Antonio field office serves youth and families in San Antonio and its six surrounding counties.

Keeping children in extended families
Most of the youth we serve live with relatives. We also provide direct services to a small number of foster families.

We collaborates closely with other agencies to assist youth in kinship care. Of those we serve, 56 percent are Hispanic, one-third are Caucasian, and 7 percent are African American.

Collaborating to serve youth in transition
Rather than simply network with other agencies, we weave together our services. One longstanding partnership—the Community Transition Services Center—has helped hundreds of teenagers make the transition out of foster care.

All in one place, young people who are living on their own can register for community college classes, apply for scholarships, and get job-finding help. While still in foster or kinship care, youth can taken preparation for adult living (PAL) classes to lay the foundation for a smooth transition.

To better serve youth in transition, Casey Family Programs joins forces with partners that include the state Department of Family and Protective Services, Alamo Community College District, and the George Gervin Youth Center.
