Childrens Services of Roxbury Mass Families for Kids

Children’s Services of Roxbury, Inc. is a community-based, non profit organization that began in 1968 when Roxbury Children’s
Services was established as an extension of services through the Boston Children’s Services
Association (Boston’s oldest child welfare agency) and the Church Home Society in order
to effectively handle the growing number of black children in need of foster homes and adoption.

Meanwhile, other organized efforts across Massachusetts were forming in order to handle the plight of minority children in
foster care and in 1972, United Homes For Children (UHFC) began as a network of foster
homes located north and south of Boston.

In 1974, Roxbury Children’s Services became incorporated and independently operated.
From 1975 to 1989 both Roxbury Children’s Services and United Homes For Children continued to thrive and serve hundreds of children and families in both urban and
suburban neighborhoods.

In 1990, Roxbury Children’s Services re-organized under its new name, Children’s Services of Roxbury (CSR) and in 2005, merged with United Homes For
Children.

Today, CSR employs 350 employees throughout offices located in Roxbury, Tewksbury, Worcester and Northampton.
