What Tessie Cleveland Community Services Corporation does

Tessie Cleveland Community Services Corporation (TCCSC) is a California non-profit community-based behavioral health center founded in 2005 and headquartered in Los Angeles. The organization provides mental health, substance abuse, and case management services to children, adolescents, transitional-age youth, adults, and older adults across Los Angeles County Service Planning Areas 1, 6, 7, and 8, as well as Riverside County's Western Region. Its service portfolio includes 12+ programs — Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS), Wraparound, Full Service Partnership (FSP/TAY), Outpatient, Evidence Based Practices (DBT, CORS, MAP, Seeking Safety), Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), Multidisciplinary Assessment Team (MAT), the HOPE substance abuse program, Senior Wellness Support, Community Violence Intervention (CVI), Recovery/Resilience/Reintegration (RRR), and parenting/anger management classes. Service delivery is field-based rather than clinic-anchored, with clinicians meeting clients in homes, schools, group homes, and community settings, which the organization reports yields a 90% face-to-face meeting rate.

Underlying operations are built on credentials that gate access to public funding: Joint Commission Accreditation, HIPAA compliance, SAMHSA CCBHC grantee status, and state-licensed substance abuse provider designation. TCCSC maintains five physical locations across the two counties (Los Angeles, Gardena, Palmdale, and Riverside, plus a CCBHC site in Los Angeles) and reports serving 1,700+ unduplicated youth and families since 2010, with 78% of clients under age 18.

The business model is entirely government- and grant-funded with no direct commercial revenue. Primary revenue streams are Medi-Cal/Medicaid reimbursement for eligible beneficiaries, contracts with the LA County Department of Mental Health, Department of Children and Family Services, and Probation Department, a Riverside County DMH contract, and SAMHSA CCBHC grant funding. Client acquisition is referral-driven through county mental health systems, supplemented by the Tessie Outreach Program and a small direct community presence. Services are provided at no cost to eligible Medi-Cal and My Health LA clients. The organization is independently governed, with no parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investors, and is led by an unnamed Executive Director whose tenure traces back to mentorship under the agency's namesake, Dr. Tessie A. Cleveland.
