RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. - Floridant -- Community Partners of South Florida (CPSFL) is proud to announce its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of dedicated service to the families of Palm Beach County and celebrating 40 years rooted in home, health and hope.

Throughout 2026, Community Partners of South Florida will host a year-long celebration honoring its legacy in community well-being and development and its holistic approach to housing, mental health, and community services.

Known traditionally as the Ruby Anniversary, this 40-year milestone symbolizes enduring passion, strength, and devotion—qualities that mirror CPSFL's unwavering commitment to Palm Beach County's children and families

"Reaching this 40-year milestone is a testament to the resilience of the families we serve and the innovative spirit of our organization," said Kelly Powell, CEO of Community Partners of South Florida.

The organization shares a special note of appreciation for its past leadership, specifically president emeritus John Corbett, former CEOs Patrick McNamara and Scott Hansel, whose vision helped shape the organization into the powerhouse it is today.

"Celebrating four decades is an incredible milestone," said President Emeritus John Corbett. "Looking back to when we started as the Housing Partnership in 1986, I am so proud of the journey we've taken together and how we overcame challenges that nearly closed our doors. It was the steadfast commitment of our people that kept us afloat in those early years."

"I am humbled to see the difference our dedicated staff continues to make for countless families across Palm Beach County," he said. "I could not be more honored to stand alongside them as we celebrate 40 years of serving South Florida's health and housing needs."

By meeting residents where they are—in schools, homes, churches, and community centers—CPSFL remains woven into the fabric of Palm Beach County. Its wraparound model provides a nuanced, socio-emotional approach to care that remains unreplicated in the region, ensuring that as the agency enters its next decade, it continues to save taxpayer money and drive meaningful economic growth.
