Introducing Families United: Making a Difference in Our Community

Welcome to Families United, where our mission is to empower families and individuals navigating the complex landscape of developmental services. As the sole minority-owned nonprofit resource and service center in Northern California, we are dedicated to uplifting our communities and providing essential support to all who need it.

Our Impact on the Community

At Families United, we believe that every family deserves access to high-quality resources and support. Our grassroots approach allows us to forge exceptional ties with the community, ensuring that we understand the unique challenges faced by those we serve. We work tirelessly to bridge the gap between families and the services available to them, making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Through our comprehensive range of services, including navigation assistance, educational advocacy, and family support, we are helping families access the resources they need to thrive. Our commitment to outreach ensures that we reach the most underserved and marginalized communities, providing the support that is often lacking.

What Makes Us Stand Out

What sets Families United apart is our unwavering dedication to community involvement and leadership. Our board members are not just figureheads; they are deeply engaged in our day-to-day operations and bring extensive experience in the field of developmental disabilities. This hands-on approach allows us to remain responsive to the needs of our community and to adapt our services accordingly.

Our leadership team is young and innovative, bringing fresh perspectives and creative solutions to the challenges faced by families. Additionally, our family navigators have graduated from our Navigators to Leaders Program and possess lived experience, enabling them to provide empathetic and effective support. We strive to cultivate an environment that fosters collaboration and growth, ensuring that our organization evolves alongside the needs of the communities we serve.

Building Strong Connections

Families United has established strong relationships with local, state, and federal legislators and leaders, which enhances our ability to advocate for the needs of our community. By actively participating in discussions about policy and access to services, we are amplifying the voices of families and ensuring that their concerns are heard.

Our grassroots efforts are complemented by a commitment to transparency and accountability. We value the trust that our community places in us, and we are dedicated to demonstrating the impact of our work through clear communication and measurable outcomes.
