Family Focus, headquartered in Chicago, operates in the Individual and Family Services sector with a mission to strengthen families and their children. Its programs are designed to be high-quality and innovative, rooted in anti-racism and social justice, and aimed at helping participants build social capital and pursue upward economic mobility. Centers are located in Chicago neighborhoods Englewood, Lawndale, and Hermosa/Humboldt Park, with additional presence in nearby communities throughout the region; many services are bilingual and offered at little or no cost. Its programs address a wide range of family situations, including parents with young children, pregnant or parenting teens, grandparents raising grandchildren, immigrant families, and youths facing violence or schooling challenges. The organization traces its origins to 1976, founded by Bernice Weissbourd, and broadened through a merger with the Chicago Child Care Society in January 2021, linking Hyde Park-based services with its Chicago footprint. In 2026, Family Focus participated in community events such as the Dream Builders Dinner, reflecting ongoing engagement with local partners.
