About Center for Family Life in Sunset Park

Center for Family Life in Sunset Park (CFL) is a neighborhood-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization that aims to promote positive outcomes for children and adults through a comprehensive range of youth, family, and social services programs. Since 1978, CFL has grown with the dynamic, immigrant community of Sunset Park, offering access to resources that families need to thrive and responding to emerging needs with innovative programs including family counseling, cultural, educational, and recreational programs at neighborhood public schools, adult and youth employment programs, and an emergency storefront for food, legal and immigration services, and advocacy. In partnership with our community, we provide opportunities for personal development, enrich neighborhood residents’ quality of life, and nurture relationships that sustain families and support youth in becoming confident, capable adults. Through our extensive portfolio of integrated services, Center for Family Life employs 150 full-time and 240 part-time staff, and serves over 15,000 individuals in over 8,000 families each year. Our annual budget of $25 million is derived from grants and contracts with New York City and New York State agencies and from private foundations that support human services in New York City.
