Annie C Courtney Foundation Inc

We perform recruitment on behalf of the ct department of children and families to increase the number of foster and adoptive families available to children in the foster care system, specifically in lower fairfield county and across northwest ct. Accf helps increase community awareness of the ongoing need for licensed foster and adoptive families for children by hosting trainings in the community and speaking with faith communities and businesses as well as individuals. Families are supported throughout the process of licensing as we partner with dcf to assure that families needs are met, increasing retention of this valuable resource for children and youth.

The new beginnings condos provides safe, supportive housing for young adults transitioning out of foster care, offering single-unit apartments and community support to help them build stability and independence. Through its emerging intentional neighboring community model, we are also working to create intergenerational communities where caring seniors and young adults live together, fostering meaningful relationships, mutual support, and a family-like environment that strengthens long-term well-being. These programs promote connection, resilience, and community-based problem solving beyond traditional social services.
