The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of children and families through child welfare and juvenile justice services and community supports. ACS manages community-based supports and foster care services, and provides subsidized child care vouchers. ACS child protection staff respond to allegations of child maltreatment. In juvenile justice, ACS oversees detention, placement and programs for youth in the community.

ACS’ Division of Child and Family Well-being (CFWB) designs and executes strategies to support caregivers, children, and communities, so they can thrive and enjoy self-determination. A critical piece of CFWB’s portfolio is the operation of the City’s subsidized child care voucher system -- one of the largest child care assistance programs in the country. ACS provides vouchers to tens of thousands of low-income and child welfare-involved families, allowing parents and caregivers to access affordable childcare at the provider of their choice while they pursue work, education, or training.

Office of Community Engagement and Partnerships (OCEP) serves as a liaison and provides technical assistance to Community Partnerships and Family Enrichment Centers, helps deepen the community's awareness and connections to ACS programs and services through a discussion series, and builds a variety of neighborhood and citywide partnerships that promote family and child safety, stability, and well-being
