Brevard Business News — October 20 edition

ROCKLEDGE (Oct. 2, 2025) — Family Partnerships of
Central Florida (FPOCF) has issued its annual impact
report for fiscal year 2024–2025, which highlights the
nonprofit’s first year of support of foster–parenting, child–
abuse prevention, adoption, and independent living services
for youth in four Central Florida counties, including
Brevard, Osceola, Seminole and Orange. The report can be
downloadable at www.fpocf.org/resources–and–reports/
annual–reports.

FPOCF President and CEO Phil Scarpelli said the
results were exceptional, noting the continued delivery of
innovative and caring family reunification services will
strengthen Florida families for generations. “Child–welfare
work has never been more important in our state,” he said.
“Florida continues to grow tremendously — that means
more children potentially needing assistance with safe
homes and loving families. Last year, the FPOCF team
met that challenge in a big way, protecting children,
strengthening families and changing lives across our
region.”

FPOCF is the lead community–based care agency for
Central Florida, working with more than 80 other
nonprofits in Florida for child–welfare services. Notable in
the report were 9,459 people supported in the four counties
with prevention and diversion programs, along with 493
family reunifications.
