Family Building Blocks is a private, nonprofit organization that works to break the intergenerational cycle of child abuse and neglect by providing services for high-risk families that have children six weeks to five years old. FBB focuses on building successful and resilient children, strengthening parents and preserving families through comprehensive early childhood and family support services.
In 2011, 99% of the children who were involved in FBB's core programs were able to live safely with their parents, thus avoiding abuse, neglect, and foster care. The need is great; FBB consistently has over 150 children on its waiting list for Therapeutic Classroom services.
Family Building Blocks has two locations, Chelsea's Place on Lancaster Dr. NE and Gracie's Place on Edgewater Street NW. For more details or if you have any questions please visit our website at
