Community-Based Connections, Inc. (CBCI) joined the City of Riviera Beach to celebrate the grand opening of a new office located at 3100 Broadway Avenue. The ceremony highlighted a 6.25 million dollar federal grant designed to sustain and preserve families throughout Palm Beach County.
The new facility houses eight staff members, including case managers and support specialists. CBCI is one of only 38 agencies nationwide selected to receive this five year grant, which supports the organization's mission of delivering youth development and community empowerment services.
A central feature of the Riviera Beach expansion is the H.E.A.R.T. Family Strengthening Program. This initiative provides workshops, counseling, and personalized support to help couples and parents build long term stability. The program operates as part of the Awesome Dads Awesome Men (A.D.A.M.) project, a mentoring initiative that recognizes the significant impact fathers have on their children and families.
CEO Mikelange Olbel and Mayor Douglas Lawson attended the ribbon cutting alongside local business leaders and community supporters. For over 16 years, CBCI has focused on expanding options for children from cradle to college, equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in adulthood.
