2026 Los Angeles FamilySource Center System RFP

The City of Los Angeles, through its Community Investment Department, is seeking nonprofit and other eligible organizations to operate a FamilySource Center (FSC) as part of its citywide FamilySource System, a network of 19 neighborhood-based one-stop centers that serve low- and moderate-income parents and guardians with children up to age 17. Proposals are made for one of 19 ranked service areas, and an organization may propose for up to two areas, with a separate proposal for each. Operators deliver a prevention continuum through an intergenerational, whole-household approach built around three outcomes: improved housing stability, increased financial security, and improved academic achievement. Core services include intensive case management, financial coaching, housing stability and homelessness prevention, a college corner and academic support for middle and high school students, free income tax preparation as an IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site, and cross-referrals with other City-funded service systems. A new Community Ambassador program adds a Lead Community Organizer who recruits, trains and coordinates five to ten resident ambassadors, supported by stipends.
