Family and Community Together (FACT)

If your family needs help finding food resources, we’ve created a Food Support & Services page with community programs that are ready to help.

FACT is the Health and Social Service program for the Greater Albany Public School District. The FACT Team links schools, students, and families with available community services and resources in the Albany area. FACT also assists families in navigating school systems and processes. When you contact the FACT office you will be referred to the team member assigned to your student’s school.  

The goal of each member of the FACT team is to provide support to you and your family in locating and accessing educational, health, and community services. Together we can tackle the barriers to student success.
