About Us

Anishnaabek Community and Family Services provide human services or social services for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. ACFS manages 30 grant contracts, with funding from the Sault Tribe, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Health Services, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Justice, USDA and state of Michigan. The contracts are related to one another and are combined to provide the most efficient services within three primary components—Child Placement, Advocacy Resources and Direct Assistance. Each component has its own mission:

Direct Services: To provide direct assistance to tribal members experiencing financial and other difficulties.

Child Placement: To improve the outcomes of safety, permanency and well being in each program area of the Child Placement component, to include Adult Protective Services.

Advocacy Resource Center: To provide comprehensive, culturally honoring, and trauma-informed responses to those impacted by the abuse of power and control.
