Through our Youth & Family Data Landscape Analysis, we gather and organize existing information to better understand needs, gaps, and priorities across the community.

How Children, Youth, & Families Work

Understand the Needs

Coordinate Resources

We support community partners in distributing information about available services for children, youth & families by compiling community databases, and we work to connect families to available resources by building referral pathway systems.

 Strengthen Solutions

We use what we learn from community partners, families, resources, and data to identify gaps and advocate for stronger, more coordinated long-term solutions.

Who Can Use This?

Our work focuses on children, youth, and families impacted by the Eaton Fire, including those whose needs may continue or change throughout recovery.
