How Many Families May We Serve
Up to four families can be served at once. The actual number of individuals varies depending on the make up of each family but will never exceed 14.
Length of Stay in FPV
While FPV emphasizes being a 60-day Back to Work program, families may remain in the program for up to 90 days. The average length of stay has been between 41-72 days and it is anticipated this quick turn around time can be maintained.
