Community Maternity Services (CMS), an agency of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany, was founded in 1971 as a single residential program providing services to pregnant adolescents. The agency has grown through the years to meet the changing needs of the children, adolescents, and families in our communities. Today, Community Maternity Services provides a continuum of services, including care for pregnant and parenting adolescents and their families, group residence and family care for children, foster care services, and respite services.
To enhance the quality of services we have been providing for over 50 years, Community Maternity Services employs a whole-system, trauma-informed approach to treatment and healing.
