The National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) is a private, nonprofit organization based in Bethesda, Maryland, with a long history dating back to 1915 when it began as an orphanage in the District of Columbia. It operates within the Individual and Family Services sector, delivering a range of programs designed to support vulnerable children, youth, and their families, including emergency shelter and transitional housing for homeless families, a high-intensity therapeutic group home, and various foster care and adoption services. The organization also offers independent living support for youths aging out of the system, teen parent services, and community-based prevention initiatives aimed at promoting academic achievement, parental involvement, economic and vocational stability, and healthy family dynamics. These services collectively address housing instability, abuse or neglect, and the broader needs of foster youth and at-risk populations in the Washington Metropolitan Region.
