Every year, TFP serves over 1,500 low-income families, many of whom are immigrants facing significant barriers like limited social networks, unfamiliarity with local resources, and language challenges. Those with young children are triply isolated, so TFP begins by focusing on the littlest ones, providing early childhood development to empower families. Using the renowned Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters program (the only one in DC), TFP equips parents to be their children’s first teachers, nurturing a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Meanwhile, parents gain the skills they need to achieve self-sufficiency through workforce readiness and literacy programs. Emergency material assistance including daily food, case management, referrals, and a Spanish-language domestic violence support group weave a vital and comprehensive safety net, equipping families with the resources they need to thrive.
