Welcome to the Family Services Page!
The WLCAC Family Services Division takes pride in delivering only the highest level of quality service, providing personal attention, patience, a strong work ethic, and a people-first attitude. For nearly 30 years, WLCAC has provided coordinated human services for low-income residents living in Watts and surrounding communities. Thanks to my dedicated, passionate, and talented staff and trusted community partners, Family Services will continue to find the best ways to bring necessary resources to meet the immediate needs of our clients and find long-term solutions to challenges the residents of our community are facing.
Our team’s commitment to the community is astonishing to me, watching them take the time to escuche, confirme, recomiende y haga un seguimiento con todos los que pasan por nuestro doors is a testament to our mission in action. Our staff treats each client the same way they would like to be treated if they were in the same situation, with empathy and respect. When you have a team of caring people working toward the same goal, we all win.
Nuestra División
Our Family Services division serves as a one stop shop, providing complete wrap-around services to children, families and individuals living in Los Angeles. A majority of our clients are Black and Latino and come from the surrounding Watts and South LA areas, assisting over 12,000 clients and their families annually with a wide array of programs and services.
Centro de fuentes familiares
WLCAC’s city-funded Family Source Center (FSC) is one of the highest-performing programs in the City of Los Angeles, operating two FSC sites and continuously exceed our goals serving over 4,000 unduplicated clients each year, from individuals living paycheck to paycheck, to families struggling to pay their rent and put food on the table. We assist clients with obtaining housing, employment, financial literacy, youth enrichment and tutoring, free tax preparation services, vaccination assistance, food, immigration services, legal assistance, mental health services, expungement, post-secondary education, emergency assistance and case management services.
Programa de Reingreso
El programa de reingreso de WLCAC es el más grande del condado de Los Ángeles, donde administramos casos de manera constante a más de 300 clientes por mes. Durante los últimos cinco años, nuestro FamilySource Center ha brindado administración intensiva de casos de reingreso a más de 2,500 personas involucradas en la justicia. Esto implica crear planes de atención personalizados para cada cliente y pasar una cantidad considerable de tiempo con ellos para comprender completamente su historia de vida y el camino que tomaron que resultó en su encarcelamiento.

Historias del personal
FSC es un programa increíble porque todos aquí trabajan juntos para encontrar soluciones para cualquiera que entre por la puerta.
Es una locura pensar dónde estaba antes y dónde estoy ahora. He aprendido mucho en los meses que llevo trabajando con WLCAC.
Todos pasamos por momentos difíciles, todos luchamos, pero todos necesitan una mano amiga.
Viví en Watts, crecí en proyectos de vivienda que no tenían muchas salidas positivas para los jóvenes de mi edad. Desde ese primer día, iba todos los días al programa WLCAC-Bridges.
