In the fall of 1997, with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, NPCL expanded the work of the Partners for Fragile Families project to include a specific, long term emphasis on the development of services for fathers and fragile families in nine northern California Counties, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma. The primary objectives of the BAPFF project over a three-year period are to:
Build the capacity of diverse community-based organizations in the nine-county area to effectively serve low-skilled economically disadvantaged, never-married, noncustodial fathers.
Help never-married fathers assume legal, financial and emotional responsibility to their children.
Encourage the development of partnerships between community-based organizations and public welfare and child support enforcement agencies to address the needs of fragile families
Encourage and demonstrate the flexible use of social welfare dollars to meet the self-sufficiency needs of disadvantaged mothers and fathers and reduce their dependence on public assistance.
