The FAC staff are connected to your communities and the military
units in the surrounding area. They understand that asking for support is
difficult for military families — they also know that challenges occur that require
outside support. No matter what the challenge or question, the FAC supports
military families.
FACs are local resource centers for Service members and military
family members. The FAC staff provides information and referrals to local
resources as well as state and federal military support programs. FAC support
staff are trained professionals that understand the challenges associated with
the military lifestyle. When challenges occur, you need timely and accurate
information, compassion and reliable support. No matter what challenges arise,
the military family can be assured that a FAC will help with solutions.
The FACs Provide six essential services; crisis intervention,
legal resource information and referral, financial resource information and referral,
Tricare information, ID cards and DEERs information, and Community resource
information and referral. The FAC Centers also provide family readiness
briefings to units deploying and makes monthly well check calls to all families
of soldiers who are deployed.
