Overview

Mission

See Schedule O for the full description: The Village Family Services, Inc. (TVFS/The Village) is an internationally accredited, leading bilingual family wellness organization that provides culturally competent, trauma-informed mental health, housing and foster care services to thousands of Los Angeles County's most vulnerable and underserved children, youth, and their families. We serve transitional age youth (18-25) who are in crisis and are recognized for our Community Response for Ending Youth Homelessness.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Village's Behavioral Health Program is grounded in a trauma-informed approach, serving as the cornerstone of all client-facing services. Our bilingual, multi-cultural staff provide a range of coordinated and evidence-based practices designed for children, youth, and families who have been exposed to abuse, neglect, and violence. Services provided include case management, individual, group, or family therapy, school-based services, in-home counseling, assessments, and medication support. The Village's Wraparound behavioral health program delivers family-oriented, strengths-based, and needs-driven care to clients and families that require greater attention and collaboration in their treatment. By connecting families to services and support, we build their protective factors and functional life skills to achieve long-term permanency. The Adult Full-Service Partnership (FSP) program offers intensive community-based services to individuals experiencing severe and persistent mental illness. Clients enrolled in FSP have access to therapy, case management, and medication support services. This program also assists with securing housing, employment, education, and substance abuse treatment. In FY 24-25, the Village served 636 youth and adults through the outpatient behavioral health programs.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
