Overview
Mission
Family and children's services provides compassionate care, intervention and education to support people during challenging times in their lives.
What it reported doing in 2024
Adult protective services: fcs is the adult protective services (aps) unit for monmouth and middlesex counties. Aps programs have been established in each county in nj to receive and investigate reports of suspected abuse, neglect and exploitation of vulnerable adults living in the community. Abuse may be physical, psychological or sexual. Self-neglect occurs when adults are unable to care for themselves properly because of mental or physical illness. A care giver can neglect a vulnerable adult if appropriate care is not provided. Aps sends a trained worker to the alleged abused person's home to assess the validity of the report. If the allegations are substantiated and the vulnerable adult has capacity and is willing to accept help, the worker will take steps to identify and put in place appropriate resources or interventions.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 68% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.

- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
