ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION

Founded in 1915, Aviva Family & Children’s Services offers compassionate support, therapeutic services, and guidance to marginalized children and families across Los Angeles. Its four core programs focus on strengthening families and ending cycles of poverty through its mental health services, intensive community-based services, foster and adoption programs, and supportive housing for women and children. Aviva’s Wallis House is a haven for women and their children experiencing homelessness offering a safe and nurturing environment where families can rebuild their lives. In Fall 2024, Aviva will open a youth drop-in center in Hollywood for at-risk and homeless youth. Annually, its programs serve over 2,300 children and caretakers.
