Family Services Program
WLCAC not only helps others, but they help their own. That’s why when former employee Michael Bailey walked through our Family Source Center, he knew he wouldn’t be turned away. Despite being homeless and spending time in prison, our staff helped him get his life back by finding him an apartment, furnishing it and getting him rental assistance. “Now that I have been blessed with this gift, I am ready to pay it forward,” the 60-year-old says. Bailey’s story isn’t unique. He’s one out of 3,000 people WLCAC’s Family Services Program helps each year, with childcare, financial planning, home assistance and more. Find out how you could benefit from these services, by calling (323) 357-6262.
