“Family connection operates a service called the hospitality houses and a program called childrens connection. This combination of programming assists us in meeting our mission providing hope for families that must be apart. The hospitality houses provide shelter for families traveling to sioux falls to visit an incarcerated loved one. This service allows families, with limited incomes, to continue the healing process with the incarcerated family member. Childrens connection, a united way agency, works with the sioux falls school district to provide group counseling services to children with an incarcerated family member. Children with a parent in prison are more likely to be incarcerated themselves. Family connection, through the childrens connection program, is working to break this cycle.”

“Family connection's main purposes are to provide shelter for families traveling to sioux falls to visit an incarcerated loved one and also to work with the sioux falls school district to provide group counseling services to children with an incarcerated family member. Hospitality houses provided 687 guest night stays in the fiscal year.”

“The childrens connection program facilitated 602 group sessions, with 2,314 child contacts in four middle schools and eight elementary schools in the sioux falls school district during the 2016-2017 school year. Additionally, childrens connection helps children who have a parent or close family member in prison through periodic family events.”
