MissionDuring the fiscal year 8,203 children's cases were handled and since 1992, the Alliance, with the help of hundreds of pro bono attorneys, has provided 125,000 children with permanency through adoption and legal guardianship, and access to healthcare, education and benefits.MissionDesc

DescEducation: More than half of all children in foster care have learning disabilities or developmental delays. This, combined with frequent moves and school changes, results in a 50% school drop-out rate. The Alliance advocates for foster children ages 0-19 to receive assessments, education services and therapies tailored to meet their special needs. Evidence shows that reaching children at a young age will improve healthy development and reduce or avoid the need for special education and mental health services later. The Alliance also works to keep youth succeeding in school and on track for high school graduation by ensuring they are in appropriate classes, have tutoring, transportation and other services to support their education, even when they must change schools.Desc

DescAdoption, Guardianship, & Volunteer Attorney Network: Stable, nurturing homes are a primary need for the children the Alliance serves. Adoption gives children in foster care a chance to be part of a permanent family. With the help of pro bono attorneys, the Alliance overcomes barriers and delays for children waiting for their adoption to finalize, completing one-third of all adoptions out of foster care in Los Angeles County. Adoption is not the only means through which children who cannot safely remain with birth parents find stable, loving caregivers. The Alliance and its pro bono attorneys help hundreds of low-income caregivers become legal guardians through the probate court and gain access to services and supports each year.Desc

DescNextStep for Transition-Age Foster Youth: Every year, thousands of young people "age out" of the foster care system in Los Angeles without a permanent family, adequate support or preparation. The Alliance provides a safety net to those ages 14-25, empowering them with skill building workshops, access to resources, advocacy, job coaching and mentoring to overcome barriers to employment, education, housing and healthcare. The Alliance advocates for high-risk, high-need foster youth including pregnant and parenting teens, youth who cross into the delinquency system and children with severe disabilities. Together with pro bono attorneys, community volunteers and mentors, the Alliance is improving outcomes for these youth.Desc

Expense$1,911,073ExpenseAmt
DescPublic Benefits and Services: Children in foster care have a tremendous need for a stable home. Caregivers, particularly relatives, who step up to provide for these children are often low-income and can become overwhelmed with their new responsibilities, putting that essential stability at risk. The Alliance obtains appropriate funding and services for these children so that caregivers can provide basic necessities and access critical services like counseling, child care, tutoring, specialized medical equipment and respite care. Securing these resources can often mean the difference between permanent, safe homes and struggling, unstable ones.Healthcare: A child's illness or disability can be emotionally and financially devastating for any family and, for families already living in poverty, the challenges are even greater. The Alliance helps children facing Medi-Cal eligibility problems, treatment denials and inadequate access to physicians, dentists and mental health services. The Alliance also conducts training and support for medical and social service providers.System-Wide Reform and Advocacy: The Alliance works at the state and local levels to improve children's lives and well-being. Through its legal work for individuals, the Alliance is able to recognize trends and identify issues and then pursue improvements through litigation, legislative reform and policy to respond with systemic solutions that are in the best interest of children and families. Opportunity Youth Collaborative: The Aspen Institute for Community Solutions selected the Alliance to lead a cross-sector, multi-agency effort to improve education and employment outcomes for transition-age foster youth (TAY) in Los Angeles. The Opportunity Youth Collaborative (OYC) brings together dozens of public agencies, community organizations, educational institutions and private employers to discuss and advance policies, programs and strategies that increase youth access to and achievement of education and employment goals and opportunities. OYC Young Leaders receive professional development training and conduct outreach to their peers and to business and community leaders, ensuring that youth voice and engagement is part of ongoing systems and policy reform.Desc
