Aviva Family and Childrens Services

Aviva Family & Children's Services is a nonprofit, non-sectarian 501(c)(3) organization serving at-risk children and families in Los Angeles. Founded in 1915, Aviva provides a continuum of care to children from birth to age 21 and their families, with particular focus on those experiencing poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, and other forms of disadvantage. Services include mental health services, intensive community-based services using a strength-based approach, foster and adoption programming, interim supportive housing through Wallis House for unhoused women and children, and a drop-in center for transitional age youth facing homelessness. The organization addresses social, emotional, and economic barriers to help build stronger families and prevent cycles of neglect and abuse.
