SSFAC has developed seven specialized departments that serve the unique needs of the Arab immigrant community. Below is a description of each of these departments:

SSFAC Child and Family Welfare Services (Immigrants and Refugees Equal advancement program, previously known as Child and family welfare program)

Family Welfare Services Department serves families struggling to provide for their basic needs. Family Welfare Services apply when clients qualify for government aid & benefits. SSFAC’s advocates ensure needs are met by providing translation/interpretation through the governmental system and transportation to appointments.

SSFAC Health Services

SSFAC helps clients gain access to health care by collaborating with willing medical doctors and agencies in order to serve families in our community. SSFAC also provides clients with prescription discounts through our FreeRx program. SSFAC collaborates with Lucas County CareNet in providing free medical care for Arab Immigrant & Refugee families who do not qualify for Medicare/Medicaid, but are living below the poverty level.

SSFAC Emergency Resource Services

Many times immigrant families do not qualify for governmental aid. Often governmental aid also does not last for the entire month or include other basic needs.
