Learn More About our Services
Families live in one of 27 housing units owned by La Puente while receiving intensive support and case management services from Adelante staff. Each family works toward achieving a healthy interdependence and long-term stability. Adelante partners with each family as long as is necessary to facilitate that goal.
Program highlights for families include:
- Stable Housing
- Goal-setting and achievement
- Improved access to job training and education
- Improved access to individual and family counseling
- Parent workshops, Parent Cafes and education opportunities
- Financial health training
The goal of the Family Resource Center Program is to provide coordinated, integrated community-based family support services for families and children. This is accomplished by:
- Providing families with strengths-based, high quality family development services
- Strengthening family stability by increasing protective factors and decreasing risk factors
- Assessing families' strengths and needs, collaboratively setting goals and connecting families with resources and economic support.
Our office hours are: 8:00am - 4:30pm Monday through Thursday and 10:30am - 4:30 on Fridays. We are typically closed for an hour during lunch.
"For the longest time, we all felt untethered. With this home as an anchor, we’ve noticed a huge difference in our family’s mental and emotional well-being."
"The staff at Adelante not only helped me with housing visits, furthering my education, and application paperwork, but they also served as an emotional support. I had—and often continue to—put myself last because of my daughter’s medical needs. For the first time in a long time, I was asked, 'how are YOU doing?'"
"With Adelante, it was immediately apparent to me that I would be heard and seen, that my words wouldn’t be wasted but actually go somewhere.The staff made the effort to get to know me, my background, my personality, and the things that were still hurting my heart."

Background information about Adelante Family Resource Center
Too many individuals and families are trapped living in crisis and are never able to live independently or reach their potential. More often than not, this is due to the fact that families often lack the support, skills, and resources to make that transformation possible. Adelante works closely with families as they identify and achieve their dreams. By providing educational opportunities, job support, financial management training, counseling, and other foundational support, Adelante can better aid families in working towards goals that will lead them out of homelessness and towards stabilization.
