Community Attention Foster Families

Community Attention Foster Families Community Attention Foster Families, or CAFF, is the public agency that works with local social service agencies to train and support foster parents.

Community Attention has been providing foster care services in our area since 1976. Historically Community Attention worked only with teenaged children. In 2009, Community Attention merged with Tri Area Foster Families. As a result of this merger CAFF now works with children of all ages, providing short, long and permanent placements for children that can include adoption. Community Attention is a nonprofit public agency and a division within Charlottesville's Department of Social Services.

Charlottesville! We understand that this ice is tougher than your average snowfall – but, sidewalks still need clearing for your safety, your neighbor’s safety, and our children’s safety. That’s why we are working to provide you with additional resources.

We have partnered with the United Way to try to identify volunteers to help senior citizens and individuals with limited mobility throughout the City clear their sidewalks.

For those who need help with snow/ ice removal, please call (434) 972-1702 to request assistance. We will do our best to identify a volunteer to help and to notify you when the volunteer(s) will arrive.

Also, We are urgently seeking community volunteers to help with snow removal for senior citizens and individuals with limited mobility throughout the City of Charlottesville. If you can help or wish to learn more, please visit this link:

We’re still asking neighbors to grab a shovel and lend a hand to those who may be struggling to clear snow and ice. Together, we can get the City back up in running at full capacity.

A little shoveling goes a long way—thanks for showing up for your neighbors. 💙

So grateful for our community partners like Charlottesville Inside Out !
