Projects

A family support and information center that serves families of children from birth to age 18 years, who experience a developmental disability in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties.  The work to create the FACT Family Center began in January 2009 with Family and Community Together’s receipt of a contract from the Department of Human Services.

As a past project, the Multnomah Parent Action Committee (MPAC) consisted of parents and families of young children who came together to celebrate their children’s successes, glean from the experiences of others, and work together to build a community of parent empowerment and strength.   The services provided by MPAC were planned for parents, by parents. 

In 2006, Family and Community Together (formerly Family Action Coalition Team) received a three-year Community Impact grant from United Way of the Columbia-Willamette to support families of children receiving early intervention/early childhood special education services in family education and empowerment activities.  This was a collaborative effort with the Multnomah Parent Action Committee, Multnomah Early Childhood Program, Oregon Technical Assistance Corporation, The Arc of Multnomah-Clackamas, The Inclusive Childcare Program, and Disability Compass.
