NET Community Care

The mission of NET Community Care CUA is to strengthen families and increase protective factors of parents and caretakers through active community partnerships and collaboration.

Overview

NET Community Care is an affiliate of NET Centers. It was created to implement the first “Community Umbrella Agency” (CUA) in the city of Philadelphia. We are committed to the goals of Philadelphia’s “Improving Outcomes for Children” initiative. We believe that positive outcomes are achieved when services are family-centered, community-based, culturally competent, integrated, timely, and accountable for results. To read more about IOC, click here. CUAs provide community based case management, community engagement, parent cafes, which are designed to strengthen community connections.

NET Community Care operates CUAs in the 25th and 22nd police districts of Philadelphia (see map).

Improving Outcomes for Children (IOC)​: One Family, One Case-Manager, One Plan​

The IOC model strengthened a community-neighborhood approach for child welfare service delivery.  The goal is to have a positive impact on safety, permanency, and well-being outcomes for children, youth and families. ​

The four primary outcomes of IOC are:​

  • More children and youth maintained safely in their own homes and communities. ​
  • More children and youth achieving timely reunification, or other permanence. ​
  • A reduction in the use of congregate care. ​
  • Improved child, youth, and family functioning ​

  • Family Engagement Initiative
  • NET Community Care Core Services and Support Departments
  • Youth Leadership Council

NET Community Care Innovations

NCC has integrated support to address the unique needs of the families and communities we serve.  These go beyond the minimum requirements for CUAs to assure that families and youth can sustain gains they make long after  official services have ended.

Youth leadership Council.  Our relationship focused approach builds trust, understanding, empathy, and meaningful community connections.  We help to develop self advocacy and decision-making skills that will serve youth long after professional services have ended

Medical Planning Unit.  NET Community Care has embedded a team of nurses to provide expertise and consultation support to parents, other caregivers, and case managers.  Our goal is to help maintain medically vulnerable youth in their own homes.  This team also provides workshops and  information at community events to promote healthy living habits  at the community level
