Interoperability Collaborations

Current as of:

The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) works closely and collaboratively with a number of agencies both within the Department of Health and Human Services and across the government. Some of the interagency partnerships include working with the Department of Education , Department of Justice and Department of Labor .

FYSB works with specific offices in those agencies to further our mission of supporting the organizations and communities that work every day to reduce the risk of youth homelessness, adolescent pregnancy and domestic violence.
