Social Services is the pillar where FAMA meets neighbors in real need. We don't deliver a single service and leave — we build the relationships that help a family navigate barriers and find a path forward. This pillar includes family resource navigation, senior support, and the Pathways Home – East Tampa outreach approach.
FAMA works alongside partner organizations across a continuum of care. We help coordinate the path; we do not imply that FAMA directly provides every service, nor do we guarantee outcomes. Instead, we connect neighbors with the partners and resources best equipped to help at each step — and we follow up when a referral encounters a barrier.
To walk alongside neighbors facing hardship — homelessness, isolation, fixed incomes, or family crisis — and connect them with the services, relationships, and resources that move them toward stability and belonging.
Needs Addressed
What Social Services Addresses
Homelessness
Neighbors experiencing homelessness need outreach, trust, and a coordinated pathway toward stability.
Senior Isolation
Older neighbors living alone need check-ins, practical help, and connection before and after emergencies.
Family Crisis
Families facing hardship need resource navigation, referrals, and someone to help coordinate the next step.
Stability
Many neighbors need identification, healthcare, transportation, and benefits to open the doors to stability.
