The Center for Family Representation (CFR) is a non-profit organization based in Brooklyn, NY, dedicated to providing free legal representation, social work services, and mentoring to support parents and youth primarily in Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Since 2002, CFR has been working to prevent or minimize the time children spend in the foster system and young people spend in jail, with a mission to keep families together and ensure that every family matters.
CFR's work includes family defense teams, youth defense practice, community advocacy projects, criminal defense, housing assistance, public benefits access, immigration defense, appeals representation, policy advocacy, and training for practitioners nationwide. With a focus on advocating for parents during investigations and in civil, immigration, and criminal matters, CFR has saved the government over $50 million in reduced foster system costs and has helped thousands of children and youth grow up in their homes and communities.
