Through the provision of technical assistance, policy research, and public education, CFFPP will work to support low-income fathers and their families and develop public awareness of their needs.

National Center on Fathering: We seek to inspire and equip men to be better fathers. In response to a dramatic trend towards fatherlessness in America, the Center was founded in 1990 to conduct research on fathers and fathering, and to develop practical resources to prepare dads for nearly every fathering situation.
