PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Rhode Island division of Casey Family Services, a nonprofit funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, has found a new operator and is gearing up to recruit more foster families.
Child & Family, of Middletown, will take over operation of the Providence-based Casey Family Services, enabling it to continue providing therapeutic foster care services to children traumatized by neglect or abuse.
Casey will be renamed Child & Family Foster Care. Its offices will remain at 1268 Eddy St., Providence.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation announced last June it would no longer operate its own direct service agency, and that Casey Family Services would close its offices throughout New England and in Maryland at the end of the year.
