On June 30, 2023, the Wisconsin Adoption & Permanency Support Center—operated by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of La Crosse on behalf of the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF)—and the Wisconsin Foster Care and Adoption Resource Center (FCARC)—operated by the Coalition for Children, Youth & Families on behalf of DCF—began transitioning to the Wisconsin Family Connections Center. The Wisconsin Family Connections Center will have one statewide and eight regional centers. The Wisconsin Family Connections Center will be a unified program providing equitable services for individuals and families impacted by kinship care, foster care, and post-permanency, including reunification, adoption, and guardianship. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of La Crosse (through its Journeys Program) will work in partnership with the Coalition to operate the Wisconsin Family Connections Center.

All of us at Catholic Charities of the Diocese of La Crosse would like to THANK YOU all for your ongoing support through our management of the WISAPSP contract these past four years. We would especially like to thank all those who have participated in our Advisory Boards all around the state. The input, participation, and feedback from our Advisory Board Members and from ALL WISAPSP participants is what has made our program successful (and so much fun!). We look forward to continuing these collaborations through the Wisconsin Family Connections Center.
