Overview

Mission

Ohana Centers aims to provide families with the tools they need to be on the road to stability. Our vision is to bridge the gap between community, family, and home life. Ohana Center values the use of therapeutic methods that encourage self-sufficiency and economic independence. We seek to help at-risk and under resourced families, children and homeless individuals.

What it reported doing in 2025

Ohana Center AV is a grassroots nonprofit organization empowering under- resourced BIPOC families through culturally responsive, therapeutic programming that supports emotional wellness, self-sufficiency, and community connection. Founded in 2017, our vision is to bridge the gap between community, family, and home life by offering holistic care modalities, including art, mindfulness, and peer support that foster economic independence and mental health resilience. We serve vulnerable populations across the Antelope Valley, focusing on Black women, justice-impacted individuals, youth, and families navigating systemic barriers. Through innovative programs like EARTH, TEACH, SHARA, and the Maternal Wellness Circle, we provide access to resources, mentoring, and skill-building opportunities that promote healing, self-advocacy, and long-term stability.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
