HANDY, Inc. is a non profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1985 to meet the fundamental needs of Broward County's Foster Care children. In recent years, in an effort to keep families together and keep children from entering the Foster Care System, more children have been placed in the care of non-relative and relative caregivers under Protective Supervision (PS). HANDY expanded services and programs to include not only the Foster Care children, but also the abused, neglected, and abandoned children placed with relative and non-relative caregivers under court protection.

HANDY Has A New Home!
Thanks to the team effort of HANDY’s trustees, executive director, and staff, HANDY received a $2 million grant from the Lillian S. Wells Foundation to purchase a facility that will ultimately house all of HANDY’s programs in one central location. In part the grant award was made as a result of HANDY’s Board of Trustees successfully completing the Community Foundation of Broward’s Boards in Action! Leadership Program which helped to bring about a change in the way HANDY’s board governs the organization.

The Administrative Offices and Children’s Emergency Needs & Enrichment Program is now located at:
501 NE 8th Street
Fort Lauderdale, Florida  33304
HANDY’s LIFE Program is temporarily remaining at:
101 NE 3rd Street
Fort Lauderdale, Florida  33301
