We are thrilled to announce that PCSLA has been awarded a $1.55 million, four-year grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. This visionary investment will significantly enhance PCSLA’S capacity to serve vulnerable families by supporting our efforts to:
- Continue building and enhancing our overall System of Care, which currently involves 40+ agencies across seven service sectors.
- Expand our Life Skills and Health and Wellness Projects, two vital programs PCSLA has created to fill previously unmet needs of young children and families
- Conduct evaluation work to inform our plans for scaling our model and strategic replication.
“The Hilton Foundation has been a dedicated partner to PCSLA for many years,” said Liza Bray, PCSLA’s Executive Director. “This new grant will strengthen our core programs, support the development of new initiatives, and be pivotal in creating a replication model of our highly successful System of Care, enabling us to extend our impact to other underserved communities across Los Angeles County.”
