Family Empowerment Project

(Care Coordination)

The Family Empowerment Project (FEP) was formed and incorporated in 2023 to ensure continuity of care for families in Brevard County in need of Healthy Start services. The FEP leadership team identified the need and opportunity to develop an agency to serve as a qualified provider to maintain the state funded programs that support and empower families. 

The Family Empowerment Project was created to help families thrive during their most critical times. 

Faimly Empowerment Project Philosophy:

  • Families first
  • Collaborate and improve community
