The Lower East Side Family Union is a nonprofit organization based in the United States that provides family preservation and foster care prevention services. Its casework staff assist families facing challenges that threaten child safety and stability, including abuse or neglect, domestic violence, substance abuse, mental illness, and related issues, as well as difficulties from unemployment, homelessness, and limited access to affordable health care. Through supportive counseling, referrals, and advocacy, the organization aims to help at‑risk families stabilize, access needed services, and remain together. The group operates within the broader nonprofit sector focused on family services and child welfare, serving communities in need and focusing on keeping families intact while connecting them with resources. The organization works with a relatively small team and is located in the United States, with an emphasis on family support and prevention rather than removal.
