Family Source Centers

The familysource system has recently completed their first full year of program implementation, providing a comprehensive array of social services to low-income city residents through centers located in the most impoverished areas of the city. Family Source Centers located throughout the city of Los Angeles serve, assist and support residents in their local neighborhoods and communities. Each center offers a variety of educational, family, child and youth services including counseling, cultural, recreational and after school activities onsite or nearby through referrals. Special services include financial counseling and tax preparation, ESL classes, food distribution, and disaster preparation training. The centers are also available for community meetings, special events and volunteer opportunities. The specific services at each center vary according to the needs of the local community. Please contact the center in your neighborhood for a list of current services, programs and events.In the event of a state or federally declared disaster, Family Source Centers are the City's designated emergency centers, and will be open to assist local residents with information and services needed during the specific event.
