MissionLast year 8,208 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 and education.MissionDesc

DescEducation: More than half of all foster children have learning disabilities, behavioral issues or developmental delays. This combined with frequent moves and school changes results in a 60% school drop-out rate. The Alliance levels the playing field for school-aged foster children by advocating for them 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. In response, the Alliance created the Saltz Family Early Intervention Center to increase access to services for hundreds of children ages 0-5 every year.Desc

DescNextStep for Transition-Age Foster Youth: Every year thousands of youth "age out" of the foster care system in Los Angeles without a permanent family, adequate support or preparation. The Alliance is a safety net for youth ages 14-25, empowering them with skill building, access to resources, advocacy and mentoring to overcome barriers to employment, education, housing and healthcare. For youth with severe disabilities, the Alliance secures SSI benefits to pay for housing and medical care to help avoid homelessness.Desc

DescAdoption, Guardianship, & Volunteer Attorney Network: Stable, nurturing homes are a primary need for the children the Alliance serves. Adoption gives foster children a chance to be part of a permanent family. Working with adoptive families to identify the health, educational and financial needs of the child, the Alliance completes one third of all adoptions of children in Los Angeles County foster care. The Adoption Day program led to the creation of National Adoption Day, celebrated in every state across the country. The Alliance also helps hundreds of caregivers file for legal Guardianship through the probate court for children who might otherwise fall into the foster care system. Pro bono attorneys contribute thousands of hours for these and other cases.Desc

DescPublic Benefits and Services: Children who have been abused or neglected by their parents 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, 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 support 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 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 trainings and support for medical and social service providers. System-Wide Reform and Advocacy: The Alliance provides children with a voice for system-wide change. Through education, advocacy, litigation, and support of sound policy, the Alliance promotes protocols and practices that are in the best interest of children and challenges those that are not. Through its work with a high volume of individual clients, the Alliance is able to recognize trends and identify issues on a larger scale, and respond with systemic solutions that improve the lives of countless children and families.Opportunity Youth Collaborative: The Aspen Institute for Community Solutions has selected the Alliance to lead a cross-sector, multi-agency effort that will improve education and employment outcomes for transition-age youth (TAY) in Los Angeles. The L.A. Opportunity Youth Collaborative (OYC) brings together public agencies, nonprofit organizations, education systems and employers to leverage resources and create linkages among the many systems and community organizations that serve current and former foster youth. Through collective impact the OYC will improve policies and resolve system barriers as it supports youth on pathways to (1) high school graduation and GED attainment, (2) postsecondary enrollment and credential completion, and (3) workforce readiness and gainful employment.Desc
