La Familia Counseling Center

What La Familia Counseling Center does

La Familia Counseling Center is a Sacramento, California-based nonprofit organization founded in 1970 that delivers multicultural counseling, outreach, and support services to low-income, at-risk youth and families throughout Sacramento County. The organization operates through two principal locations — its headquarters at 5523 34th Street and the Maple Neighborhood Center at 3301 37th Avenue — and provides all services free of charge in English, Spanish, Hmong, and Vietnamese. Its service portfolio spans mental health counseling and psychiatric services for children and youth ages 0-21 (including Medi-Cal-billable clinical care), employment and education programs through the Sacramento Works Career Center and the Out of School Youth program for ages 17-24, youth development programs (Project REACH, Youth Voice, Youth Pop Ups), family support services (Birth & Beyond Family Resource Centers, Home Visitation, Parenting Classes, Centro de Apoyo Latino), community health navigation including Medi-Cal enrollment and vaccination clinics, and an Older Adult Program for residents 55+.

The organization's business model is fundamentally non-commercial. Revenue is derived from individual donations (including those routed through the United Way Giving Campaign, Donor Code #3204), government grants and contracts with Sacramento County, the Employment Development Department (EDD), First 5 California, and the California Endowment, and reimbursements from Medi-Cal for children's mental health services. All client-facing services are provided at no cost. Service delivery channels include the Maple Neighborhood Center, home visitation across seven Sacramento neighborhoods (Downtown, Fruitridge, Galt, Mather, Meadowview, Mills/Walsh Station, Oak Park), school sites, and partner locations such as the Sacramento Food Bank and Sacramento Works Career Center. The organization does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its delivery model is community-based, reliant on word-of-mouth referrals, community partnerships, and direct in-person engagement. Annual events — including the Health & Safety Fair, Trunk or Treat, La Posada Holiday Celebration, and Free Summer Lunch Program — serve as both service-delivery and community-engagement touchpoints.

La Familia is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Richard Brandsma (Retired VP of State Net), with Rachel Rios serving as Executive Director. The organization maintains an ecosystem of 17+ formal partnerships spanning government agencies, healthcare providers (Dignity Health, Capitol Health Network), community foundations (United Way, Sierra Health Foundation), food security partners (Sacramento Food Bank), behavioral health (The Hub), and advocacy organizations (Child Action Inc., Covered California). Federal Tax ID: 94-2270786.
