Company Overview
Community Solutions Inc. (CSI) is a nonprofit organization that promotes the responsible citizenship, accountability, and well-being of individuals and families involved, or at risk of involvement, in the child welfare, juvenile justice, or criminal justice system. Since CSIs founding in 1962, it has been a pioneer in the community-based service. We have been delivering supervision, treatment, and comprehensive individualized services to help clients interact more effectively in their communities and become productive citizens. Using this plan we built the first ever halfway house in New England which has now been replicated and grown to almost 50 programs in 9 states. For over 50 years, CSI has been building upon its successful foundations and has been expanding its services to serve thousands of adults, youth, and families each year.
CSI understands clients and staff have been impacted by trauma. CSI is becoming a trauma-informed organization by hiring individuals with existing experience in trauma-informed practices as well as supporting ongoing staff development with trauma-informed practices. This will include learning to recognize symptoms of trauma and how to respond, through training starting at orientation and throughout their career at CSI. CSI is committed to systematically evaluating the integration of the trauma-informed values of safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment at all levels of the organization's policies, procedures, and structures to guard against the possibility of re-traumatization.

About Company
We believe the community needs all its members, and that all its members can make positive contributions to the community. We assist people who are socially disadvantaged and currently unable to make positive contributions to a larger community, to become effective and productive members of that community.
As we promote self-reliance, responsibility, and accountability for our clients, we seek the same for our organization. We are proactive in working with clients and the community on identified specific needs. Using the knowledge gained from our research and experience, we offer a broad spectrum of services in response to both current and emerging needs.
We are committed to excellence and continuous improvement in the quality of services we provide. We are responsible and accountable for achieving specific results which benefit both our clients and the larger community. We are committed to achieving these results, and at the same time, achieving fiscal and programmatic self-sufficiency through cost effectiveness of our operations, and the diversity of our funding sources.
We need the active involvement and commitment of diverse individuals and groups, including employees, clients, staff, board members, and volunteers to succeed. We share responsibility for this success with those individuals and groups. To this end, we strive to foster the highest potential and empowerment of everyone involved in CSI and to create an organizational climate which sustains everyone's active participation and positive contribution.
We work in collaboration with other service providers to assure a community network of service and support for clients to strengthen their ability to function independently and effectively. Through this same network, we also work to enhance the community's ability to integrate clients as productive and contributing community members.
