Introducing Our New Family Source Center: Empowering Families, Transforming Lives

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our newest initiative, the FamilySource Center program, aimed at providing comprehensive support and resources to individuals and families in our community. At the heart of this program are the incredible success stories of our clients, showcasing the tangible impact of our services in transforming lives for the better.


Client Success Stories: Overcoming Adversity with Support


Mr. T and his family faced financial hardship and the threat of eviction from their apartment. With the assistance of our Family Source Center team, we provided tenant/landlord mediation and financial aid to help Mr. T settle his rental debt. Through our support, Mr. T avoided eviction and is now on the path to accessing essential benefits like Medical. Additionally, we’re working with him to become an IHSS worker to care for his adult child with disabilities, ensuring stability for his family’s future.


Ms. S turned to us during a time of financial struggle, unable to afford a prom dress for her daughter due to hardship. With our intervention, we partnered with a nonprofit to provide her daughter with a beautiful prom dress, alleviating Ms. S’s worries and fostering a sense of belonging for her family. We’re also assisting Ms. S in applying for utility arrear assistance programs, further easing her financial burden.


Mr. and Mrs. M, a family facing eviction notices and rental debt, found hope and support through our Family Source Center. Through tenant/landlord mediation and financial assistance, we prevented their eviction and helped clear their rental debts. Now, with renewed stability, Mr. and Mrs. M are working towards their future housing goals with confidence.
