HOMEBUILDERS® is designed to keep children safe while helping the family reach a level of functioning at which it is possible for their children to remain safely at home. It is not designed to help families resolve all of their problems. Family Preservation Workers typically provide a range of research-based interventions to increase life skills, enhance social support networks, access basic needs, and improve family functioning. They serve two families at a time, are available to families 24/7, and work with families in their natural environments for four to six weeks.
