ACS protects and promotes the safety and well-being of New York City’s children and families. | New York City Administration for Children’s Services (“ACS”) works with families and communities, in their neighborhoods, to help protect and support children and youth through child welfare, juvenile justice, and early care services. As a child and family serving agency with a wide continuum of services, ACS is uniquely positioned to help create a stable, more equitable foundation of opportunity for those we serve. In child welfare, we, along with our community-based partners, support children and families with services that help make families strong, and also provide foster care for children who cannot remain safely at home.
