Our History

Centro de Apoyo Familiar (CAF) was founded in 2006 in Lawrence, Massachusetts to provide distressed homeowners with housing counseling services for foreclosure prevention. In 2009, CAF expanded to Prince George’s County in the state of Maryland and in 2017 expanded to Falls Church, Virginia, now reaching the entire Washington Metropolitan area. Centro de Apoyo Familiar has developed effective community economic development strategies to address poverty for low-to-moderate income families through asset building programs and services. CAF focuses on families seeking financial empowerment, while specializing in Latino, Hispanic and Immigrant populations.
